| Expression and characterization of Sapporo-like human calicivirus capsid proteins in baculovirus. Other areas of development regarding the improvement of adenoviral vectors include modulation of capsid proteins to evade immune system response and clearance, (29,30) increase duration of gene expression via genetic modification, (31) as well as the incorporation of imaging motifs to allow for monitoring of the virus administration and action. This work applies the information from tiling theory about the types and locations of bonds expected between capsid proteins. |
