Cytomegalovirus CMV
Cytomegalovirus infection is exceedingly common- in most individuals with a healthy immune system, the disease is very minor and does not cause significant or dangerous symptoms. In those individuals with an impaired immunity (such as organ transplant recipients who are taking immunosuppressant drugs) the virus can cause life-threatening infections.
The structure of CMV is similar to that of herpes simplex, and antigenic glycoproteins from CMV have successfully been engineered, expressed and delivered to cells by L-particles. Pre-clinical studies are ongoing to examine this application of the technology.
