Abstract

See full text

The current invention is a particle comprising an assembly of lipid-enveloped core polypeptides and transmembrane polypeptides. The transmembrane polypeptides comprise sequences that bind to phagocytes through indirect or direct binding by surface receptors. The result of transmembrane polypeptide binding is engulfment by the phagocyte to low-pH compartments. The low pH triggers a conformational change in transmembrane polypeptides whereby lipids of particles and phagocytes are fused and the contents of the particle, including a polypeptide to be delivered to the cell, are released into the phagocyte.
