  • Publication number: 20170043012
    Abstract: Chimeric therapeutics are disclosed that include a modified viral core protein comprising at least one mutation or modification in an immunogenic epitope and a therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent may be associated with the modified viral core protein and may be a nucleic acid, a protein, or a small molecule. Also disclosed are particles and compositions that include the disclosed chimeric therapeutics.

  • Publication number: 20150252081
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for controlling assembly of modified viral core proteins, for example, into a viral capsid or a nanocage. In some embodiments, the disclosed modified viral core proteins comprise at least one mutation or modification that can substantially prevent assembly of the viral core proteins until assembly is desired. In some embodiments, assembly of the viral core proteins may be triggered, for example, by contacting the viral core proteins with a reducing agent and/or by reducing the concentration of a denaturant. The viral core proteins may self-assemble to form a viral capsid or nanocage.
