Annotation

English

One-week practical course is designed to introduce students to the methods of viral biotechnology. Students gain
strong theoretical background about the basic principles of viral expression systems, their possibility of usage for
recombinant proteins expression or for production of virus-like particles and methods of their purification. Using
virus-like particles as a model, the students gain practical experience with the methods of production (work with
cell cultures and recombinant viruses) and purification (centrifugation in density gradients) of virus like particles.

Czech

Týdenní praktický kurz je určen k seznámení studentů s metodami virové biotechnologie. Studenti získají
teoretické základy o základních principech virových expresních systémů, jejich možnosti využití pro expresy
rekombinantních proteinů nebo pro produkci virových částic a metodách jejich izolace. S využitím virových částic
jako modelu získají studenti praktické zkušenosti s metodami produkce (práce s buněčnými kulturami a
rekombinantními viry) a izolace (centrifugace v gradientech hustoty) virových částic.
