Abstract:

Virus like particles (VLPs) have been widely used in the field of vaccines and therapeutic drug delivery systems in recent years. Compared with VLPs assembled in vivo, VLPs assembled in vitro have many advantages, such as clear composition of assembled oligomers, controllable reaction conditions, avoiding the introduction of host components, and realizing the encapsulation and delivery of drug active components. This review mainly described the production methods of extracellular VLPs, the influencing factors of VLPs formation, and the characterization methods of VLPs assembled in vitro. The application of VLPs assembled in vitro in vaccine and therapeutic drug delivery was also reviewed. It is expected to provide reference ideas for the development and progress of VLPs assembled in vitro assembly technology, and promote VLPs assembled in vitro assembly technology to play a greater role in disease prevention and treatment.

Key words: capsid protein, VLPs assembled in vitro, virus like particles, drug delivery
