Characterization of self-assembled virus-like particles of Merkel cell polyomavirus.

Characterization of self-assembled virus-like particles of Merkel cell polyomavirus.

In our recombinant baculovirus system, VP1 protein of merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), which is implicated as a causative agent in Merkel cell carcinoma, was self-assembled into MCPyV-like particles (MCPyV-LP) with two different sizes in insect cells, followed by being released into the culture med...
