Biomaterials: Efficient Encapsulation of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles into Genetically Engineered Hepatitis B Core Virus‐Like Particles Through a Specific Interaction for Potential Bioapplications (Small 9‐10/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
A method to encapsulate magnetic nanoparticles into His-tagged virus-like particles (VLPs) is developed by L. Ren and co-workers on page 1190. It is the first report using the affinity of histidine tags for the nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid chelate to trigger encapsulation of nanoparticles by VLPs. This makes it possible to integrate a wide range of starting nanoparticles into fundamentally different kinds of viral coating proteins or other nonenveloped viruses for application in cancer nanotechnology and medicine.
