Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Virus-like Particles (PCV2 VLPs) (CAT#: VLP-032YF)

Datasheet
Recombinant Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Virus-like Particles (PCV2 VLPs) are produced in insect cells, assembled with ORF2. 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. PCV2 VLPs can be used in the development of PCV2 diagnostics and in vaccine development and R&D (including use as an immunogen).

  • Virus Overview
  • Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) belongs to the viral family Circoviridae and to the genus Circovirus. Circoviruses are small, single-stranded nonenveloped DNA viruses that have an unsegmented circular genome. PCV2 is the primary causative agent of several syndromes collectively known as porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD). Many of the syndromes associated with PCVAD are a result of coinfection with PCV2 virus and other agents such as Mycoplasma and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus. PCV2 infection is present in every major swine-producing country in the world, and the number of identified cases of PCVAD is rapidly increasing.
