Patent ID: 7763259

Claim:
A complex comprising: a) a particle having five papillomavirus capsid L1 polypeptides or truncated papillomavirus capsid L1 polypeptides, truncated papillomavirus capsid L1 polypeptides comprise papillomavirus capsid L1 polypeptides having: a truncation up to 30 amino acids removed from a carboxy terminus, a truncation up to 9 amino acids removed from an amino terminus or point mutations at cysteines residues within the papillomavirus capsid L1 polypeptides; and b) a polypeptide molecule comprising one or more papillomavirus capsid L1 interaction sequence(s), the papillomavirus capsid L1 interaction sequence comprises a peptide having a first motif of Pro-Xaa (4) to Xaa (10) -Pro followed by a second motif of Phe-Xaa-Leu-His-Pro or Tyr-Xaa-Leu-His-Pro, wherein the particle is assembled with the polypeptide molecule during recombinant co-expression to form a non-covalently associated complex.
