Development of stable cell line expressing hemagglutinin and neuraminidase (293HA-NA).
Gag HIV-1 protein is more efficient than M1 to induce VLPs production in 293HA-NA cells.
Influenza VLPs production using Gag as scaffold was evaluated in a 3-L bioreactor and purified.
Characterization of VLPs showed typical size and morphology of HIV-1 immature particles.
The immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the VLPs was demonstrated in mice.
