ИСТИНА

Plant viruses are often perfectly homogeneous in terms of composition and size and exhibit a variety of shapes and wide-ranging stabilities to pH, temperature, chemicals, and protease degradation. However, one of the main advantages of plant viruses’ usage is biosafety, since they are not infectious for mammals, including humans. In this connection plant viruses are promising tools for development of safe new biotechnology. This presentation aims to provide the overview of research carried out at the Virology Department of Lomonosov Moscow State University with plant viruses as platforms and adjuvants for the development novel candidate vaccines.
