Virus Like Particle Vaccines Classification Based on Source Virus

Virus like particle is a self-assembled structure derived from viruses without replicating genome. Thanks to the multiple epitopes at the surface, virus like particles can induce immune response efficiently and thus, being widely used in the vaccination field. Virus like particle vaccination nowadays covers a range of diseases, such as infectious disease, cancer, allergy, and even cancer. In this literature, the author is going to introduce the background and features of virus like particles. Then, the virus like particles are classified based on the classes of virus source. Representatives of commercialized vaccines in different classes are introduced. Discussions are made about the advantages of and the challenges faced by virus like particle fields.
