Virus-like particles: preparation, immunogenicity and their roles as nanovaccines and drug nanocarriers
Abstract Virus-like particles (VLPs) are virus-derived structures made up of one or more different molecules with the ability to self-assemble, mimicking the form and size of a virus particle but lacking the genetic material so they are not capable of infecting the host cell. Expression and self-ass...
