The present invention relates to assays for the identification of compounds that inhibit assembly of NP, VP35, and VP24, or inhibit the glycosylation of NP, required for nucleocapsid formation, for use as anti-viral agents. The invention also relates to assays for the identification of compounds that block glycosylation of proteins having a glycosylation domain that is substantially homologous to a glycosylation domain of NP required for polymerization. The invention further relates to pseudoparticles for presentation of antigens or antigenic epitopes for immunogenic or vaccination purposes.
本发明涉及鉴定抑制 NP、VP35 和 VP24 组装或抑制 NP 糖基化的化合物的检测方法,NP、VP35 和 VP24 是核苷酸形成所必需的,可用作抗病毒药物。本发明还涉及用于鉴定阻断蛋白质糖基化的化合物的检测方法,这些蛋白质的糖基化结构域与聚合所需的 NP 的糖基化结构域基本同源。本发明还涉及用于呈现抗原或抗原表位以达到免疫原性或疫苗接种目的的假颗粒。
