Abstract excerpt
Previously we showed that addition of purified VP22, a structural protein of herpes simplex virus, to short oligonucleotides (ODN) induced the spontaneous assembly of novel particles incorporating both protein and ODN. These particles were not toxic, entered cells, and resided stably in the cytoplasm. Surprisingly the particles could be activated by light in a regulated synchronous manner to release ODN and...
