The development of cell-type-specific delivery systems is highly desirable for gene-therapeutic applications. Current virus-based vector systems show broad cell specificity, which results in the need to restrict the natural tropism of these viral systems. Here we demonstrate that tumour-cell-specific virus-like particles can be functionally assembled in vitro from recombinant viral coat protein expressed in Escherichia coli. The insertion of a negatively charged peptide in the HI loop of polyoma VP1 interferes with the binding of VP1 to the natural recognition site on mammalian cells and also serves as an adapter for the coupling of antibody fragments that contain complementary charged fusion peptides. A recombinant antibody fragment of the tumour-specific anti-(Lewis Y) antibody B3 could be coupled to the mutant VP1 by engineered polyionic peptides and an additional disulphide bond. With this system an entirely recombinant cell-specific delivery system assembled in vitro could be generated that transfers genes preferentially to cells presenting the tumour-specific antigen on the cell surface.

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) is involved in several aspects of the pathology of cancer, including invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. In this study, we expressed a recombinant scFv-type anti-MMP9 antibody in soluble form using Escherichia coli, purified it, and confirmed its antigen-binding ability. The convenient, rapid, inexpressive system used in this study for producing recombinant antibody fragments needs only five days, and thus can be used for the efficient production of scFv against MMP9, which can be used in a range of applications and industrial fields, including diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory and cancer-related diseases.
