Expression and characterization of plant produced AHSV nanoparticles encapsulating EGFP by Martins, Angelo

“…Alternatively, the structural proteins that form VLPs can have inherent amino acid motifs with a natural targeting affinity for receptors that may be overexpressed on the surface of certain types of cells, for example cancer cells. These properties impart VLPs with great potential as delivery vehicles of diagnostic and/or therapeutic molecules. …”

The impact of HIV-1 subtype C Envelope N-glycosylation on DC-SIGN meditated modulation of DC function to facilitate transmission or enhance viral pathogenesis by Lumngwena, Evelyn Ngwa

“…We generated pseudovirus of eighteen Env clones (PSVs) with variable number and position of potential N-glycan sites (PNGs) and compared their ability to infect TZM-bl cells, bind to Raji+ DC-SIGN cells, trans-infect TZM-bl cells when captured by either Raji-DC-SIGN cells or monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) and modulate MDDC signaling by investigating the release of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and other immune modulatory cytokines and MAPK activation. …”
