Background

Creative Biolabs offers lentivirus-like particles services, providing customized, scalable solutions for gene delivery. Their services ensure high transduction efficiency and safety, ideal for therapeutic applications and research in gene therapy and functional genomics.

  • Overview of LVLPs

VLPs that carry RNP payloads take benefit of viral delivery's efficiency and tissue targeting while avoiding the dangers associated with viral genome integration and long-term editing agent expression. Lentiviruses are a popular scaffold for VLP packaging due to their flexible structure and large particle size, which can accommodate non-natural protein cargo, and their tropism can be modified by pseudotyping virions with various envelope glycoproteins. Therefore, lentivirus-enveloped VLP (LVLP), can target specific cells. LVLPs are widely used to deliver gene editors to avoid the long-term expression of nucleases mediated by lentiviral vectors will increase the off-target effects of gene editing, to achieve the transient expression of gene editing proteins. Creative Biolabs developed two main strategies for LVLP packaging of mRNA:

  • LVLP packages mRNA by interacting with the Ψ packing signal at the lentiviral RNA LTR and the nucleocapsid protein, preventing reverse transcriptase and integrase from becoming active. The mRNA cannot be reverse transcribed and can only serve as a template for translation.
  • RNA aptamers engage with aptamer-binding proteins to package and deliver mRNA without LTRs, avoiding reverse transcription and integration. This mRNA is then successfully translated into target cells to perform its purpose.

A: Yes, Creative Biolabs offers customized LLPs services tailored to specific delivery targets, gene constructs, and clinical applications, ensuring optimal integration and expression of genetic material.

Q: What safety measures are in place for LLP services?

A: Creative Biolabs' LLPs are designed with multiple safety features, including deletion of viral genes associated with replication and pathogenesis, ensuring safe use in both clinical and research settings.

Q: What types of genes can be delivered using LLPs from Creative Biolabs?

A: LLPs can deliver a wide range of genetic materials, including DNA, shRNA, mRNA, or CRISPR components, tailored to client needs for diverse applications such as gene knockdown, protein expression, or gene editing.

Q: How efficient are Creative Biolabs' LLPs in gene delivery?

A: Creative Biolabs' LLPs are engineered to maximize transduction efficiency across a variety of cell types, including hard-to-transfect cells, thereby enhancing the efficacy of genetic interventions.

Published Data

In the experiment, lentivirus-like particles (LVLPs) were developed to package SaCas9 mRNA for efficient gene editing. The role of LVLPs was to deliver SaCas9 mRNA transiently into target cells, ensuring high levels of genome editing activity with reduced off-target effects. The results demonstrated that LVLPs could package SaCas9 mRNA efficiently, achieving a significant indel rate (86.5%) in target sequences and lower off-target rates compared to other viral vectors like AAV and lentivirus. Additionally, LVLPs showed high transduction efficiency and the ability to target multiple genes in various cell types, confirming their potential as a safer and effective tool for transient gene editing.
