Nanoparticle Vaccine Approach Takes on a New Target: Hepatitis C Virus
Scientists at Scripps Research have engineered a native‑like, stabilized version of the hepatitis C virus E1E2 glycoprotein complex and displayed it on self‑assembling protein nanoparticles (SApNPs). The nanoparticle vaccine candidate elicited strong, virus‑specific antibody responses in animal models. This breakthrough overcomes a decades‑old bottleneck in HCV vaccine design, where the fragile E1 and E2 proteins have resisted stable production. The work also extends SApNP technology that has been applied to HIV, influenza, and filoviruses.
