Disclosed are the immunogenic properties of the Potex virus Malva mosaic virus (MaMV) and virus-like particles (VLPs) containing the coat protein of MaMV. VLPs prepared from MaMV coat proteins, methods for preparing VLPs, MaMV coat protein polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding coat proteins are taught. In addition, an immunogenic composition comprising only VLPs comprising MaMV or MaMV coat protein, or a combination thereof with one or more antigens, and vaccination of said composition in an animal, and / or The use to elicit an immune response is also taught. |
