TL;DR

A protocol for generating VSV-G-pseudotyped VLPs that deliver CRISPR/Cas9 RNPs and their functional validation in surrogate cell lines is described and their functional validation in surrogate cell lines is validated.

Abstract

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are self-assembling viral protein complexes that mimic native virions while lacking replicative and infectious capacity. By retaining efficient cellular entry and cargo protection, they overcome key limitations of viral vectors, including insertional mutagenesis and strong immunogenicity. Their ease of production, flexible cargo capacity, and tunable tropism make them highly versatile tools. Here, we describe a protocol for generating VSV-G-pseudotyped VLPs that deliver CRISPR/Cas9 RNPs and their functional validation in surrogate cell lines.

CRISPR/Cas9 Delivery Using Extracellular Vesicles.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), particles released from cells, have the potential to become an important in vivo delivery vehicle for CRISPR machinery. Unlike viral vectors such as Adeno-associated virus (AAV), EVs reduce risks associated with immunogenicity, long-term expression, and potential off-target effects. EVs ca...
