General description

Histones are a family of basic proteins that associate with DNA in the nucleus and help condense it into chromatin. Some histones function as spools for the thread-like DNA to wrap around forming a nucleosome. Each nucleosome is made of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins that function like a spool and are called a histone octamer. Each histone octamer is composed of two copies each of the histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. The chain of nucleosomes is then wrapped into a 30 nm spiral called a solenoid, where additional H1 histone proteins are associated with each nucleosome to maintain the chromosome structure.

The amino (N) terminus of the human papillomavirus (HPV) minor capsid protein L2 can induce low-titer, cross-neutralizing antibodies. The aim of this study was to improve immunogenicity of L2 peptides by surface display on highly ordered, self-assembled virus-like particles (VLP)
