Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus virus-like particles as DNA or RNA delivery vehicle to fish cells

Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus (CCMV) is an icosahedral plant virus composed of 180 monomeric units of the capsid protein. Virions encapsulate the viral RNA genome, which can be removed from the virion by changing pH conditions, after which the capsid proteins can be reversibly assembled to form empty CCMV virus-like particles (VLPs), or VLPs that have encapsulated either heterologous DNA or RNA.…
