Custom Vector Construction> | Genes encoding DS-Cav1 genetically fused to the N termini of nanoparticle components I3-01 (+/− foldon) and I53-50A (+ foldon) were synthesized and cloned by GenScript into pcDNA3.1 (I3-01) or pcDNA3+ (I53-50A) vectors. | Get A Quote |
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a worldwide public health concern for which no vaccine is available. Elucidation of the prefusion structure of the RSV F glycoprotein and its identification as the main target of neutralizing antibodies have provided new opportunities for development of an effective vaccine. Here, we describe the structure-based design of a self-assembling protein nanoparticle presenting a prefusion-stabilized variant of the F glycoprotein trimer (DS-Cav1) in a repetitive array on the nanoparticle exterior. The two-component nature of the nanoparticle scaffold enabled the production of highly ordered, monodisperse immunogens that display DS-Cav1 at controllable density. In mice and nonhu... More
