How can technology aid in virus research

Learn about a new technique for creating virus-like particles to support antibody development against Nipah virus.
  • Technology can aid virus research by enabling faster and more accurate analysis of viruses.
  • A new technique for creating virus-like particles for Nipah virus research involves using recombinant DNA technology to engineer a non-infectious mimic of the virus.
  • These virus-like particles closely resemble the actual virus, allowing scientists to study its structure, behavior, and interaction with antibodies.
  • This technique helps in developing antibodies against Nipah virus by providing researchers with a safe and controllable way to study the virus without the need for high-level biocontainment facilities.
  • By utilizing technology to create virus-like particles, researchers can accelerate the process of antibody development and potentially aid in the prevention and treatment of Nipah virus infections.
