Compositions comprising bacteriophage AP205 virus-like particles (VLPs) and an antigen, and methods for producing antigens or antigenic determinants bound to the VLPs are provided. A VLP in which a coat protein of bacteriophage AP205 is associated, and a composition in which an organic molecule is bound to the protein and a VLP core particle. The composition is useful for inducing an immune response useful for the prevention or treatment of diseases, disorders, or pathologies such as infectious diseases, allergies, cancer, and for inducing efficient self-specific immune responses, particularly antibody responses. It is. [Selection figure] None |
