75 15531030 SHIV VLPs efficiently stimulated DCs to release IL-12, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha.
76 15855014 Here, we evaluated innate and adaptive immune system cytokine responses induced by HPV-16 L1 VLP in whole blood (WB) cultures from individuals receiving the vaccine (n=20) or placebo (n=4) before and after vaccination. 11 cytokines were measured: IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and GM-CSF using multiplex bead arrays.
77 15882523 A mucosal immune response was induced by aerosol vaccination as demonstrated by the induction of anti-HPV16 VLP IgA secreting cells in PBMC and SIgA in secretions.
78 15944297 HPV16 L1 VLP also activate production of proinflammatory factors IFN-alpha, IL-6, MIP-1alpha, RANTES, and KC, up-regulate the expression of costimulatory molecules by naive B cells, and increase the B1 B cell subpopulation.

92 17068156 Noninfectious papilloma virus-like particles inhibit HIV-1 replication: implications for immune control of HIV-1 infection by IL-27.
93 17068156 Recent studies demonstrate that VLPs bind to dendritic cells and induce the expression of antiviral cytokines such as interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IFN-gamma.
94 17068156 Here, we show that VLPs suppress the replication of both X4 and R5 HIV-1 without affecting the expression of CD4, CXCR4, and CCR5.
95 17068156 VLPs induced the genes associated with IFN induction, immune responses, and antiviral responses, among with the recently described cytokine IL-27.
96 17068156 Subsequently, IL-27 was found to be a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 replication in PBMCs, CD4+ T cells, and macrophages.
97 17068156 Taken together, our studies identify a novel role of IL-27 in restricting HIV-1 replication and suggest that further examination of the inhibitory property of IL-27 may pave the way for a novel therapy for HIV-1 infection.

118 17596432 In vaccine recipients, incubation with L1 VLP in vitro led to a statistically significant increase in production of Th1 (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-2 [IL-2], gamma interferon; P < 0.0007) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13; P < 0.0017) cytokines and the chemokine IP-10 (P = 0.0021) at month 2 after immunization, compared to levels seen prior to vaccination.
119 17656012 Immunization with DCs showed that compared to VLP-pulsed DCs, VLP packaging CpG-pulsed DCs elicit stronger T-cell responses in vivo, as measured by both intracellular production of IFN-gamma and in vivo killing assays by Ag-specific T cells.
120 17656012 The mice immunized with DCs treated with HBc-VLP, however, trigger an antitumor effect at the early phase of vaccination, after 20 days of tumor injection, the tumor growth inhibition of VLP-pulsed DCs vaccination was decreased gradually and the fact could be interpreted by the decreasing number of antigen-specific CD8(+) T-cell and IFN-gamma(+)-producing CD8(+) T cell.

129 18156796 After immunization of mice with HPV16 L1 VLPs, we measured splenocytes proliferation and the levels of IFNgamma, IL2, IL4, and IL5.
130 18329759 The splenocytes collected from the VLP-immunized mice exhibited significant cell proliferation and produced high levels of IFN-gamma, IL-2 and IL-4 after stimulation, indicating the induction of Th1 and Th2 immune responses by VLP immunization.

167 18753231 The response of five baboons to Gag peptides in a gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay after three pTHGag immunizations ranged from 100 to 515 spot-forming units (s.f.u.) per 10(6) peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), whilst the response of two baboons to the Gag VLP vaccine ranged from 415 to 465 s.f.u. per 10(6) PBMCs.
168 18753231 Gag VLPs, given as a single-modality regimen, induced a predominantly CD8+ T-cell IFN-gamma response and interleukin-2 was a major cytokine within a mix of predominantly Th1 cytokines produced by a DNA-VLP prime-boost modality.
169 18945465 We demonstrated that VLP expressed by recombinant baculoviruses activate human PBMC to release pro-inflammatory (lL-6, TNF-alpha), anti-inflammatory (IL-10) and Th1-polarizing (IFN-gamma) cytokines as well as GM-CSF and MIP-1alpha in a dose-and time-dependent manner.
170 18945465 Furthermore, VLP-induced monocyte activation was shown by upregulation of molecules involved in antigen presentation (MHC II, CD80, CD86) and cell adhesion (CD54).
171 19376580 VLPs stimulated the proliferation of B220(+)IgM(+)CD43(-)CD5(-) B2 cells and their differentiation to plasma cells that preferentially produce IgG2a antibodies.
172 19376580 Up-regulation of Blimp-1, XBP-1, IRF4, and AID genes, which are responsible for class-switch recombination and somatic hypermutation, was observed in VLP-activated B2 cells.

178 19671144 The method described here can also apply to produce capsid/envelope protein complexes or VLPs of other disease-causing viruses.
179 19800648 This approach relies on high levels of incorporation in HIV-1 VLPs of a mutant of HIV-1 Nef (Nef(mut)) which can act as anchoring element for foreign proteins.
180 19800648 By in vitro assay, we found that VLP-associated Nef(mut) is efficiently cross-presented by antigen presenting cells.
181 19800648 Inoculation in mice of VLPs incorporating the HPV-16 E7 protein fused to Nef(mut) led to an anti-E7 CD8(+) T cell response much stronger than that elicited by E7 recombinant protein inoculated with incomplete Freund's adjuvant and correlating with well-detectable anti-E7 CTL activity.

222 20471443 Incorporation of CD40 ligand into SHIV virus-like particles (VLP) enhances SHIV-VLP-induced dendritic cell activation and boosts immune responses against HIV.
223 20471443 Engagement of CD40 with CD40L induces dendritic cell (DC) maturation and activation, thereby promoting immune responses.
224 20471443 We found that CD83, CD40, and CD86 were significantly up-regulated and significantly increased cytokines production were observed after hCD40L/SHIV-VLP treatment in human CD14(+) monocyte-derived DCs as compared to SHIV-VLP treatment.
225 20471443 Mice immunized with mCD40L/SHIV-VLP showed more than a two-fold increase in HIV Env-specific IgG antibody production, an increase in SIV Gag and HIV Env-specific IFN-gamma and IL-4 producing cells, and an increase in HIV Env-specific cytotoxic activity compared to that in SHIV-VLP immunized mice.
226 20471443 Furthermore, multifunctional CD4(+) Th1 cells, which simultaneously produce IFN-gamma, IL-2 and TNF-alpha triple cytokines, and CD8(+) T-cells, which produce IFN-gamma were elevated in the mCD40L/SHIV-VLP immunized group.
227 20471443 Therefore, incorporation of CD40L into VLP may represent a novel strategy to develop effective HIV vaccines.
228 21221122 Antigen-coupled VLPs and murine ovalbumin-specific and human melanoma-associated antigen recognized by T cells (MART-1)-specific CD8(+) T cells were used to demonstrate cross-presentation via this alternate, receptor recycling pathway, which operated independently of the proteasome and the transporter-associated with antigen presentation.
229 21239998 CD40L was expressed on the surface of virus-like particles (VLPs) to target HIV-1 Gag antigens to the CD40 receptor on DCs, whereas CD40L-CD40 interaction would also result in cellular activation.
230 21239998 Multiple CD40L VLP constructs were made and evaluated in vitro and in vivo.
231 21389873 In this study, we investigated the effects of murine Trop2 (mTrop2) VLP immunization in a pancreatic cancer syngeneic murine model.
232 21389873 VLPs incorporating mTrop2 were used to immunize C57BL/6 tumor-bearing mice.
233 21389873 Immunization with mTrop2 VLPs led to a significant reduction in tumor growth accompanied by a broad activation and tumor infiltration of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells as well as natural killer and natural killer T cells.
234 21389873 Importantly, VLP immunization decreased the population of regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells inside the tumor tissue resulting in decreased levels of immunosuppressive cytokines like interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-β while promoting the activation of immature macrophages and dendritic cells.
235 21389873 Our results demonstrate that mTrop2 VLP immunization can activate broad antitumor immune responses and affect key players in the tumor microenvironment overcoming a major barrier, which has limited the efficacy of cancer vaccines.

253 21389873 Immunization with mTrop2 VLPs led to a significant reduction in tumor growth accompanied by a broad activation and tumor infiltration of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells as well as natural killer and natural killer T cells.
254 21389873 Importantly, VLP immunization decreased the population of regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells inside the tumor tissue resulting in decreased levels of immunosuppressive cytokines like interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-β while promoting the activation of immature macrophages and dendritic cells.
255 21389873 Our results demonstrate that mTrop2 VLP immunization can activate broad antitumor immune responses and affect key players in the tumor microenvironment overcoming a major barrier, which has limited the efficacy of cancer vaccines.
256 21549786 Using a mouse model for HPV infection, we show that intravaginal immunization with either HPV type 16 VLPs or with PP7 bacteriophage VLPs displaying a peptide derived from the HPV minor capsid protein L2 could protect mice from genital infection with an HPV16 pseudovirus.
257 21625584 Induction of HIV neutralizing antibodies against the MPER of the HIV envelope protein by HA/gp41 chimeric protein-based DNA and VLP vaccines.
258 21651946 In this study we propose that M2 protein can be used as a molecular fabricator without disrupting the assembly of VLPs and while retaining the native structures of HA and NA envelope protein oligomers on the particle surfaces.

260 21858228 In this study, we have produced and assayed murine polyomavirus (MPyV) VLPs carrying the entire human Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) (PSA-MPyVLPs) for their potential use for immune therapy in a mouse model system.
261 21858228 PSA-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells were demonstrated, but no PSA-specific IgG antibodies.
262 21858228 In conclusion, immunization of BALB/c mice with PSA-MPyVLPs, loaded onto DCs and co-injected with CpG, induces an efficient PSA-specific tumor protective immune response, including both CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells with a low induction of anti-VLP antibodies.
263 21949376 We generated VLPs that contain Gag-Cre recombinase, Gag-Fcy::Fur, and Gag-human caspase-8 as a proof-of-concept and demonstrated that the encapsidated proteins are active in recipient cells.
264 21949376 In addition, we show that murine IFN-γ and human TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand can be displayed on the surface of VLPs, and that these modified VLPs can cause the appropriate response in cells, as evidenced by phosphorylation of STAT1 and induction of cell death, respectively.

268 22066023 Mice receiving either HIV-1(IIIB) VLPs alone, CCL28 alone, or the irrelevant CCL19 chemokine were used as controls.
269 22066023 Results showed a significantly increased CCR3 and CCR10 expression on CD19(+) splenocytes of HIV-1(IIIB) VPL-CCL28-treated mice.
270 22066023 HIV-1 Env-specific IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-5 production, total IgA, anti-Env IgA as well as gastro-intestinal mucosal IgA-secreting plasma cells were also significantly augmented in these mice.
271 22285887 BTV is a non-enveloped double-capsid virus, which encodes 7 structural proteins (VP1-VP7) and several non-structural proteins (NS1, NS2, NS3/3a and NS4) from ten double-stranded RNA segments of the genome.
272 22285887 We compared the protective efficacy of VLPs and CLPs in sheep and investigated the importance of geographical lineages of BTV in the development of vaccines.

277 22386518 Vaccination with VLP and α-galactosylceramide activated splenic iNKT cells to produce IFN-γ and IL-4, led to the generation of antigen-specific T cells that protected prophylactically against subcutaneous tumor challenge, and was more effective at generating anti-tumor immune responses than either component individually.
278 22465746 The MVA vector system is flexible for manipulating and generating various VLP constructs, expresses high level of influenza hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), and matrix (M) proteins, and can be scaled up to produce VLPs in quantities sufficient for in vivo studies.

282 22465748 If animals were pretreated with a disparate VLP, P22 (a non-replicative bacteriophage capsid), before OVA-sHsp conjugate immunization, OVA-specific IgG1 responses were apparent already by 4 days after a single immunizing dose of conjugate in OVA-naïve mice.
283 22465748 Additionally, the mice pretreated with P22 produced high titer mucosal IgA, and isotype-switched OVA-specific serum IgG.
284 23091628 In this study, we have evaluated the use of an anionic self-adjuvanting lipopeptide containing the TLR2 agonist Pam(2)Cys (E(8)Pam(2)Cys) to enhance the immunogenicity of VLPs containing the HCV structural proteins (core, E1 and E2) of genotype 1a.
285 23091628 Dramatically improved VLP and E2-specific antibody responses were observed in VLP+E(8)Pam(2)Cys vaccinated mice where up to 3 doses of non-adjuvanted or traditionally alum-adjuvanted VLPs was required to match the antibody titres obtained with a single dose of VLPs formulated with this lipopeptide.
286 23091628 This result also correlated with significantly higher numbers of specific antibody secreting cells that was detected in the spleens of VLP+E(8)Pam(2)Cys vaccinated mice and greater ability of sera from these mice to neutralise the binding and uptake of VLPs by Huh7 cells.

290 23229011 Here, we describe a method for NoV VLP purification and several methods for determining their purity, including quantitative PCR for BV DNA detection.
291 23521528 We have engineered a nononcogenic mutated E7-specific plasmo-retroVLP vaccine (pVLP-E7), consisting of plasmid DNA, that is able to form recombinant retrovirus-based virus-like particles (VLPs) that display E7 antigen into murine leukemia virus Gag proteins pseudotyped with vesicular stomatitis virus envelope glycoprotein (VSV-G). pVLP-E7 vaccinations were studied for their ability to generate specific immune responses and for induction of protective immunity against tumor cell challenge in preventive and therapeutic models.
292 23521528 Intradermic vaccinations of mice with pVLP-E7 show their efficacy to generate antigen-specific T cell responses, to prevent and protect animals from early TC-1 tumor development compared with standard DNA or VLP immunizations.
293 23521528 Data show that pVLP-E7 vaccination can cure mice with already established tumors only when combined with Toll-like receptor-7 (TLR7) and TLR9 agonists.

297 23617954 CD16-RIgE is a chimeric human membrane glycoprotein consisting of the CD16 ectodomain fused to the transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail of the gamma chain of the high affinity receptor of IgE (RIgE).
298 23617954 Taking advantage of this property, we replaced the CD16 ectodomain of CD16-RIgE by the envelope glycoprotein domain III (DIII) of dengue virus serotype 1 (DENV1) or West Nile virus Kunjin (WNVKun).
299 23617954 Although the neutralization response was modest, our data confirmed the capability of DIII to induce a flavivirus neutralization response, and suggested that our VLP-displayed CD16-RIgE-based platform could be developed as a vaccine vector against different flaviviruses and other viral pathogens.

325 24760891 After vaccination with influenza A/PR8 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine, in vivo and in vitro vaccine antigen-specific IgG isotype antibodies were not detected in MHC-II KO mice, which is quite different from CD4 T cell-deficient mice that induced vaccine-specific IgG antibodies.
326 24760891 Adoptive transfer of fractionated spleen cells from wild-type mice to MHC-II KO mice indicated that CD43(+) cell populations with MHC-II contributed more significantly to producing vaccine-specific IgG antibodies than CD43(-) B220(+) conventional B cell or CD4 T cell populations, as well as conferring protection against lethal infection.
327 24760891 Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells from MHC-II KO mice showed a significant defect in producing interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha cytokines.
328 25312452 We engineered influenza A/goose/GD/1996 (H5N1) (clade 0) virus-like particles (VLPs) by coinfecting Sf9 cells with triple/quadruple recombinant baculovirus that expressed hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), and matrix 1 (M1) with or without nucleoprotein (NP).

341 25790055 Our findings suggest that the FMD VLPs have similar antigenic conformational feature like the wild type virus, thus supporting their utility in development of non-infectious FMD vaccines and/or diagnostic assays.
342 25855976 Activation of VLP-specific CD4+ and CD8+/IFN-γ T cells associated with Th1/Th2-balanced IFN-ɣ, IL-17, IL-4, and IL-13 was induced; in contrast, FI-EV71 induced only Th2-mediated neutralizing antibody against EV71 and low VLP-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses.
343 25855976 Although antisera had no neutralizing activity against CVA16, the 3C-specific CD4+ and CD8+/IFN-γ T cells were identified, which could mediate protection against CVA16 challenge.

361 26446016 In contrast to natural HBc VLPs and recombinant HBc VLP variants carrying native CT domain, the HBcG VLPs demonstrated a lowered capability to pack bacterial RNA during expression in Escherichia coli cells.
362 26446016 The C-terminal addition of a model foreign epitope from the HBV preS1 sequence to the HBcG vectors resulted in the exposure of the inserted epitope on the VLP surface, whereas the same preS1 sequences added to the native CT of the natural HBc protein remained buried within the HBc VLPs.
