What Does VLP Stand For?

VLP stands for Virus Like Particle

VLP, or Virus Like Particle, refers to a molecular structure that resembles a virus but is non-infectious. VLPs are composed of viral proteins that self-assemble into particles resembling the virus but lack the viral genome. They are utilized extensively in vaccine development and research due to their ability to provoke strong immune responses without causing disease. VLPs are considered a promising platform for delivering antigens and have applications in various fields, including immunology and gene therapy.
