Obtaining HBV core protein VLPs carrying SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid conserved fragments as vaccine candidates
Abstract The Hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) has been used as a carrier of several heterologous protein fragments based on its capacity to form virus-like particles (VLPs) and to activate innate and adaptive immune responses. In the present work, two chimeric proteins were designed as potential pan...
