Coxsackievirus B3 VLPs purified by ion exchange chromatography elicit strong immune responses in mice

2014

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is an important cause of acute and chronic viral myocarditis, and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Although vaccination against CVB3 could significantly reduce the incidence of serious or fatal viral myocarditis and various other diseases associated with CVB3 infection, there is currently no vaccine or therapeutic reagent in clinical use. In this study, we contributed towards the development of a CVB3 vaccine by establishing an efficient and scalable ion exchange chromatography-based purification method for CVB3 virus and baculovirus-insect cell-expressed CVB3 virus-like particles (VLPs). This purification system is especially relevant for vaccine development and produ…

Structural Insight into CVB3-VLP Non-Adjuvanted Vaccine

2020

Coxsackievirus B (CVB) enteroviruses are common pathogens that can cause acute and chronic myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, aseptic meningitis, and they are hypothesized to be a causal factor in type 1 diabetes. The licensed enterovirus vaccines and those currently in clinical development are traditional inactivated or live attenuated vaccines. Even though these vaccines work well in the prevention of enterovirus diseases, new vaccine technologies, like virus-like particles (VLPs), can offer important advantages in the manufacturing and epitope engineering. We have previously produced VLPs for CVB3 and CVB1 in insect cells. Here, we describe the production of CVB3-VLPs with enhanced pro…

Infectious Entry Pathway of Enterovirus B Species

2015

Enterovirus B species (EV-B) are responsible for a vast number of mild and serious acute infections. They are also suspected of remaining in the body, where they cause persistent infections contributing to chronic diseases such as type I diabetes. Recent studies of the infectious entry pathway of these viruses revealed remarkable similarities, including non-clathrin entry of large endosomes originating from the plasma membrane invaginations. Many cellular factors regulating the efficient entry have recently been associated with macropinocytic uptake, such as Rac1, serine/threonine p21-activated kinase (Pak1), actin, Na/H exchanger, phospholipace C (PLC) and protein kinase Cα (PKCα). Another…

Los seres vivos se enfrentan a condiciones ambientales cambiantes y habitualmente estresantes, agravadas por el cambio climático, que ponen a prueba su capacidad de supervivencia. El cambio en la composición genética de las poblaciones reside en las mutaciones, que son la fuente para la evolución y la adaptación a los cambios. La diversidad genética intrapoblacional está regulada por dos grandes fuerzas evolutivas que cambian la composición genética permitiendo así el acceso a nuevos fenotipos: la deriva genética y la selección natural. Por un lado, la deriva genética fija mutaciones en la población de manera aleatoria e independiente del efecto que suponga dicha mutación para la población.…

Transmisión colectiva de enterovirus asociada a membranas: Bases genéticas e implicaciones evolutivas

2021

Los virus son responsables de numerosas enfermedades. Muchas de éstas son crónicas y se estima que el 20% de los cánceres son causados por infecciones virales. Además, gracias a su gran capacidad adaptativa y a su facilidad de transmisión, tienen cierta facilidad para saltar de una especie a otra, por lo que muchos virus que infectan animales son potenciales zoonosis confiriéndoles un considerable potencial pandémico. Estudiar y comprender mejor a los virus es un paso esencial en la elaboración de mejores protocolos de salud y epidemiología, así como en la búsqueda de nuevos fármacos antivirales. En los últimos años se ha descubierto que los virus pueden transmitirse en grupo de un huésped …

Formalin treatment increases the stability and immunogenicity of coxsackievirus B1 VLP vaccine

2019

Type B Coxsackieviruses (CVBs) are a common cause of acute and chronic myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy and aseptic meningitis. However, no CVB-vaccines are available for human use. We have previously produced virus-like particles (VLPs) for CVB3 with a baculovirus-insect cell production system. Here we have explored the potential of a VLP-based vaccine targeting CVB1 and describe the production of CVB1-VLPs with a scalable VLP purification method. The developed purification method consisting of tangential flow filtration and ion exchange chromatography is compatible with industrial scale production. CVB1-VLP vaccine was treated with UV-C or formalin to study whether stability and immuno…
