Tuning the tropism and infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles for mRNA delivery
27 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus-like particles (VLPs) are ∼100-nm-sized bioinspired mimetics of the authentic virus. We undertook molecular engineering to optimize the VLP platform for messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery. Cloning the nucleocapsid protein upstream of M-IRES-E resulted in a three-plasmid (3P) VLP system that displayed ∼7-fold higher viral entry efficiency compared with...
