Toolkit/AB-loop peptide display on MS2 coat protein
AB-loop peptide display on MS2 coat protein
Also known as: AB loop display, N-terminal β-hairpin (AB loop) display
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Through genetic engineering, antigenic peptides up to 91 amino acids in length can be densely displayed at the N-terminal β-hairpin (AB loop) of the coat protein.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
This construct pattern places antigenic peptides into the N-terminal β-hairpin (AB loop) of the MS2 coat protein for dense display on the VLP surface. The review presents it as a core way to turn MS2 VLPs into vaccine antigens.; dense surface display of antigenic peptides; vaccine antigen presentation
