Fig 4. Tandem cores form VLPs when expressed in N. benthamiana.

Fig 4

a) Western blot showing expression in N. benthamiana of monomeric (HBcAg), hetero-tandem (CoHe) and homo-tandem (CoHo) constructs. Lane C—empty vector control. b) Electron micrographs of monomeric (HBcΔ176), homo-tandem (CoHo) and hetero-tandem (CoHe) core particles produced in N. benthamiana and purified by sucrose gradient. Scale bar 100 nm. Arrows indicate smaller (T = 3) particles.
