Gesicle-Mediated Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 Ribonucleoprotein Complex for Inactivating the HIV Provirus
11 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Investigators have utilized the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system to specifically target well-conserved regions of HIV, leading to decreased infectivity and pathogenesis in vitro and ex vivo. We utilized a specialized extracellular vesicle termed a "gesicle" to efficiently, yet transiently, deliver Cas9 in a ribonucleoprotein form targeting the HIV long terminal repeat (LTR). Gesicles are produced through...
