Abstract
⺠Virus-like particles (VLPs) are a class of recombinant subunit vaccines. ⺠VLPs resemble native viruses but lack infectious genetic material. ⺠VLPs are promising vaccines due to strong immunogenicity and safety. ⺠VLPs can be produced in prokaryotic or eukaryotic expression systems, or in vitro. ⺠VLP-based vaccine candidates targeting many diseases are in clinical development.
