== Expression host systems ==
The first step to creating a VLP is cloning and expressing the structural genes of interest.<ref name=":02"/> There are many systems to choose for expression. The chosen expression system can determine the limitations and effectiveness of the resulting VLP. The most well established expression systems being used today are as follows:

'''Bacterial systems''' are one of the most widely used, and are often based on the very well studied bacteria, ''Escherichia coli''.<ref name=":02"/> This is a preferred method for production of recombinant proteins on a global scale due to the low cost and rapid nature of production, ease of scaling up, and high levels of expression.<ref name=":5" /> It is also possible to construct a VLP with multiple types of structural proteins. However, there are several disadvantages that come with use of this system:

* Inability to produce [[post-translational modification]]s<ref name=":02"/>
* Inability to generate proper disulfide bonds within proteins<ref name=":02"/>
* Other recombinant proteins of interest, particularly from eukaryotic cells, may be insoluble in an ''E. coli''system<ref name=":02"/>
* Presence of endotoxins in generated proteins<ref name=":02"/><ref name=":4">{{cite journal | vauthors = Fuenmayor J, Gòdia F, Cervera L | title = Production of virus-like particles for vaccines | journal = New Biotechnology | volume = 39 | issue = Pt B | pages = 174–180 | date = October 2017 | pmid = 28778817 | doi = 10.1016/j.nbt.2017.07.010 | pmc = 7102714 }}</ref>

Research has suggested that culturing the cells at a low temperature or use of a fusion protein system can increase solubility for other proteins.<ref name=":02"/>

'''Yeast systems''' have been used to express structural genes of bacterial, yeast, plant and mammalian origin.<ref name=":02"/> Unlike bacterial systems, it is possible to introduce post-translational modifications and there is no endotoxin presence. Another disadvantage is that this system only allows for the creation of non-enveloped viruses.<ref name=":02"/> Yeast expression is unique in two ways: 1) to successfully produce a VLP using a yeast expression system, the bacteria must be propagated in bacteria before being introduced to the cell to create a stable transgene product<ref name=":02"/> and 2) Research has suggested that VLP assembly may occur more efficiently during the purification stage, instead of the cultivation stage.<ref name=":02"/> ''Pichia and Hansenula''are the most commonly used yeast strains.

'''Insect cell systems''' have fast growth rates in media without animal products, capacity for large scale cultivation, and the possibility of introducing post translational modifications. A baculovirus vectors always needs to successfully create the VLP.<ref name=":02"/><ref name=":4" /> If more than one protein is required, the cell can be coinfected with a polycistronic vector, or infected with multiple monocistronic vectors. The latter method is preferred, because it allows for manipulation of individual protein levels, and identification of which ones are necessary.<ref name=":02"/> Although [[glycosylation]]<nowiki/>is present, the patterns differ from that of mammalian cells, leading to a slightly different product.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Yin J, Li G, Ren X, Herrler G | title = Select what you need: a comparative evaluation of the advantages and limitations of frequently used expression systems for foreign genes | journal = Journal of Biotechnology | volume = 127 | issue = 3 | pages = 335–47 | date = January 2007 | pmid = 16959350 | doi = 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2006.07.012 }}</ref>

'''Plant systems''' are less popular, but are good for the creation of VLPs with specific characteristics.<ref name=":02"/> Initially, plant-based expression systems gained popularity because they were attached to the idea of [[edible vaccines]].

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are molecules that closely resemble viruses, but are non-infectious because they contain no viral genetic material. They can be naturally occurring or synthesized through the individual expression of viral structural proteins, which can then self assemble into the virus-like structure.[1][2][3][4] Combinations of structural capsid proteins from different viruses can be used to create recombinant VLPs. VLPs derived from the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and composed of the small HBV derived surface antigen (HBsAg) were described in 1968 from patient sera.[5] VLPs have been produced from components of a wide variety of virus families including Parvoviridae (e.g. adeno-associated virus), Retroviridae (e.g. HIV), Flaviviridae (e.g. Hepatitis C virus), Paramyxoviridae (e.g. Nipah) and bacteriophages (e.g. Qβ, AP205).[1] VLPs can be produced in multiple cell culture systems including bacteria, mammalian cell lines, insect cell lines, yeast and plant cells.[6][7]

VLPs can also refer to structures produced by some LTR retrotransposons (under Ortervirales) in nature. These are defective, immature virions, sometimes containing genetic material, that are generally non-infective due to the lack of a functional viral envelope.[8][9] In addition, wasps produce polydnavirus vectors with pathogenic genes (but not core viral genes) or gene-less VLPs to help control their host.[10][11]

Applications

Therapeutic and imaging agents

VLPs are a candidate delivery system for genes or other therapeutics.[12] These drug delivery agents have been shown to effectively target cancer cells in vitro.[13] It is hypothesized that VLPs may accumulate in tumor sites due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect, which could be useful for drug delivery or tumor imaging [14]

Vaccines

VLPs are useful as vaccines. VLPs contain repetitive, high density displays of viral surface proteins that present conformational viral epitopes that can elicit strong T cell and B cell immune responses.[15]; the particles' small radius of roughly 20-200 nm allows for sufficient draining into lymph nodes. Since VLPs cannot replicate, they provide a safer alternative to attenuated viruses. VLPs were used to develop FDA-approved vaccines for Hepatitis B and human papillomavirus, which are commercially available.

There are currently a selection of vaccines against human papilloma virus (HPV) such as Cervarix by GlaxoSmithKline along with Gardasil and Gardasil-9, produced by Merck & Co. Gardasil consists of recombinant VLPs assembled from the L1 proteins of HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18 expressed in yeast and is adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate. Gardasil-9 consists of L1 epitopes of 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58 in addition to the listed L1 epitopes found in Gardasil. Cervarix consists of recombinant VLPs assembled from the L1 proteins of HPV types 16 and 18, expressed in insect cells, and is adjuvanted with 3-O-Desacyl-4-monophosphoryl lipid (MPL) A and aluminum hydroxide [16]

The most up-to-date vaccine against Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is Sci-B-Vac, manufactured by VBI Vaccines Inc. It is produced by expression in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The three epitopes of hepatitis B surface antigen: S, Pre-S1 , and Pre-S2 in their glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms, are displayed on a phospholipid matrix adjuvanted by aluminum hydroxide. This is considered to be direct competitor to Engerix-B manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, which consists of Hepatitis B surface antigen adsorbed to aluminum hydroxide.

The first VLP vaccine that addresses malaria, Mosquirix, (RTS,S) has been approved by regulators in the EU. It was expressed in yeast. RTS,S is a portion of the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein fused to the Hepatitis B surface antigen (RTS), combined with Hepatitis B surface antigen (S), and adjuvanted with AS01 (consisting of (MPL)A and saponin).

Research suggests that VLP vaccines against influenza virus could provide stronger and longer-lasting protection against flu viruses than conventional vaccines.[17] Production can begin as soon as the virus strain is sequenced and can take as little as 12 weeks, compared to 9 months for traditional vaccines. In early clinical trials, VLP vaccines for influenza appeared to provide complete protection against both the Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 and the 1918 flu pandemic.[18] Novavax and Medicago Inc. have run clinical trials of their VLP flu vaccines.[19][20]

VLPs have also been used to develop a pre-clinical vaccine candidate against chikungunya virus.[15]

Lipoparticle technology

The VLP lipoparticle was developed to aid the study of integral membrane proteins.[21] Lipoparticles are stable, highly purified, homogeneous VLPs that are engineered to contain high concentrations of a conformationally intact membrane protein of interest. Integral Membrane proteins are involved in diverse biological functions and are targeted by nearly 50% of existing therapeutic drugs. However, because of their hydrophobic domains, membrane proteins are difficult to manipulate outside of living cells. Lipoparticles can incorporate a wide variety of structurally intact membrane proteins, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR)s, ion channels and viral Envelopes. Lipoparticles provide a platform for numerous applications including antibody screening, production of immunogens and ligand binding assays.[22] [23]

Assembly

The understanding of self-assembly of VLPs was once based on viral assembly. This is rational as long as the VLP assembly takes place inside the host cell (in vivo), though the self-assembly event was found in vitro from the very beginning of the study about viral assembly.[24] Study also reveals that in vitro assembly of VLPs competes with aggregation[25] and certain mechanisms exist inside the cell to prevent the formation of aggregates while assembly is ongoing.[26]

Linking targeting groups to VLP surfaces

Attaching proteins, nucleic acids, or small molecules to the VLP surface, such as for targeting a specific cell type or for raising an immune response is useful. In some cases a protein of interest can be genetically fused to the viral coat protein.[27] However, this approach sometimes leads to impaired VLP assembly and has limited utility if the targeting agent is not protein-based. An alternative is to assemble the VLP and then use chemical crosslinkers,[28] reactive unnatural amino acids[29] or SpyTag/SpyCatcher reaction[30][31] in order to covalently attach the molecule of interest. This method is effective at directing the immune response against the attached molecule, thereby inducing high levels of neutralizing antibody and even being able to break tolerance to self-proteins displayed on VLPs.[31]

Purification of non-enveloped VLPs

After the proteins of interest have been cloned and expressed in one of the above-mentioned systems, they must be purified to get the final VLP product. Purification of non-enveloped VLPs generally involves four basic steps:

  1. Cell Lysis - cells are broken to release VLPs into solution[1]
  2. Cell Clarification - cellular debris is removed, leaving behind VLPs
  3. Cell Concentration - The cell lysate (in this case, VLPs) are brought up to higher concentration in solution[32]
  4. Cell Polishing - removal of residual impurities[32]

These steps can be repeated multiple times in cycles depending on which protocol is used.
