ABSTRACT:
Fusion proteins comprising a first amino acid sequence and a second amino acid sequence are disclosed. The first amino acid sequence is derived from a retrotransposon or an RNA retrovirus and confers on the fusion protein the ability to assemble into particles. The TYA gene of the yeast retrotransposon Ty codes for the first amino acid sequence. The second amino acid sequence is a biologically active antigen. The particles formed by the fusion proteins are useful in vaccines or in diagnostic or purification applications.
