Dengue Virus-Like Particles

Dengue fever is ranked by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the most critical mosquito-borne viral disease, globally. More than 40 percent of the world’s population, in more than 100 countries are at risk of dengue infection. There are no vaccines available to prevent infection with dengue virus (WHO, 2022).

Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) are an emerging vaccine technology, and very effective in next-generation IVD assay development. The Native Antigen Company offers an exclusive range of Virus Like Particles for all Dengue Virus serogroups, as well as a multipack containing 100ug each of VLPs from serotypes 1-4. Years of success in producing the VLPs allowed us to optimise the manufacturing methods; therefore, we can offer a high-grade product for your research needs.

About the Dengue Virus  Like Particles

VLPs consist of protein shells comprising outer proteins specific to the virus in question. VLPs are more representative of how viral antigens are presented in vivo and while they are highly immunogenic, they are non-infectious as they lack the core genetic material of the virus. Another important advantage of VLPs is that they more effectively activate key aspects of the immune response to achieve potent immune stimulation and to provide immunological memory. VLP-based vaccines have also shown to provide effective protection and are in current use for several diseases and in development for many others (Metz et al).

The Role of Serology in Tracking COVID-19 Mutations

This article was originally published on Clinical Lab Products. As SARS-CoV-2 began its global proliferation in early 2020, scientists hastened to investigate its biology, develop diagnostic tests, and design candidate vaccines, marking one of the most...

Preparing for Disease Y: A Better Serological Toolbox

This article was originally published on Clinical Lab Manager. It’s been over a year since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 has since infected 200 million people, resulting in nearly 4 million deaths and substantial economic...

Keeping Up with the New SARS-CoV-2 Variant Nomenclature

If you’ve been struggling to make sense of SARS-CoV-2 variant nomenclature, you’re not alone. Due to the existence of multiple genomic sequence databases, various naming systems are in use for the rapidly growing range of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern/interest. In a...

Making Sense of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Mutations

Through much of 2020, SARS-CoV-2 accumulated mutations at a steady, yet unspectacular rate. However, as global cases approached 100 million by the end of the year, multiple variants began to emerge. Exhibiting more considerable genomic changes, some variants have...

D614G: Putting the Mutation in Perspective

Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, scientists have speculated about the risks of mutation and what this could mean for therapeutics and vaccines. In this blog, we explore the nature viral mutation, what is known about the D614G mutant of SARS-CoV-2, and introduce our...

The Endemic Coronaviruses and What They Might Tell us About COVID-19
