Lassa Lineage III Virus-like Particles (LASV III VLPs) (CAT#: VLP-030YF)

Datasheet
Recombinant Lassa Lineage III Virus-like Particles (LASV III VLPs) are produced in mammalian HEK293 cells, assembled with Z, GPC and NP antigens. VLP is mimicking the native 3D structure of viruses which can elicit strong immune responses. However, VLPs lack viral genomic material which makes them non-infectious, unable to replicate and enhance the safety during manufacture and administration. LASV III VLPs can be used in the development of LASV diagnostics and in vaccine development and R&D (including use as an immunogen).

  • Virus Overview
  • Lassa virus, an Old World arenavirus (family Arenaviridae), is the etiological agent of Lassa fever, a severe human disease that is reported in more than 100,000 patients annually in the endemic regions of West Africa with mortality rates for hospitalized patients varying between 5-10%. Lassa virus causes Lassa fever, a hemorrhagic disease characterized by fever, generalized weakness, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting with mucosal bleeding. Arenaviruses have pleomorphic virions from 40 to more than 200 nm in diameter that consist of nucleocapsid surrounded by a lipid envelope.
  • Virus Structure
  • Enveloped, single-stranded, and bi-segmented RNA virus
  • Related Disease
  • Lassa hemorrhagic fever
