Development of RNA-free particles of Cowpea mosaic virus for applications in nanotechnology

A method for the efficient production of RNA-free particles of Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) has been developed. These are generated by co-expression of the precursor of the coat proteins (VP60) and the viral proteinase (24K) using the highly-efficient plant expression system, CPMV-HT, in the model pla...
