Abstract
The invention provides a nodavirus RNA1 molecule modified to include a heterologous insertion which is downstream of its replicase ORF and, preferably, its B2 ORF. The insertion preferably comprises one or more protein-coding regions. The modified RNA1 may be packaged in a VLP, such as a papillomavirus VLP. The small size of nodavirus RNA1 makes it ideal for HPV packaging.
