Size Nm 30.00
Zeta Mv
Model Scope in_vitro
Model Type in vitro
Cell Lines Or Primary Cells RM-1 mouse prostate cancer cells (uptake and GFP expression); Cos-7 cells (cytotoxicity)
Animal Model
Administration Route
Output Type Reporter expression (GFP fluorescence microscopy/confocal) + GFP mRNA (qPCR) + uptake (FITC imaging)
Output Value GFP fluorescence in most RM-1 cells at 24 h; GFP mRNA detected at 24/48 h; FITC-labeled VLP uptake observed at 12 h
Output Units
Output Notes LMWP-displaying PP7 VLPs penetrated RM-1 cells (FITC imaging) and delivered packaged GFP mRNA that was translated into GFP protein (fluorescence/confocal) with GFP mRNA detected by qPCR.
Toxicity Notes No dose-dependent cytotoxicity in Cos-7 cells; viability >95% even at 800 µg/mL VLPs (24–48 h, CCK-8).
