RESUMO
The characteristics of virus-like particle (VLP) of JC virus (JCV) as a vector for targeting gene delivery was determined. The exogenous DNA (PUC19) packaged in VLP-Z was resistant to DNase I. VLP-Z was able to deliver a reporter plasmid pEGFP-N1 into HeLa cells and the green fluorescent reporter protein was expressed in these cells. VLP-Z was also able to bind IgG by interaction with the Z fragment of VLP-Z and IgG. These results suggested that VLP-Z might be used as a vector to deliver therapeutic genes to target cells with incorporating IgG antibodies.
