Description
CCMV is an abriviation of the Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus, one of the most studied viruses in producing Virus Like Particles (VLPs). This part is the coding sequence of the coat protein of the CCMV virus. When expressed in Escherichia coli, these coat proteins can be harvested and be assembled in vitro using the Wageningen_UR iGEM 2012 protocols (http://2012.igem.org/Team:Wageningen_UR/Protocol/StartupCCMV) . This part is provided for the iGEM community so that they can use this part to be integrated in an own expression biobrick (e.g. BBak883001) to produce these VLPs for their one own use, including but not limited to packaging, making fusion proteins to the N/C terminal. This all for to be used in a wide variety of applications. for ideas what kind of applications can be mediated with CCMV VLPs, check http://2012.igem.org/Team:Wageningen_UR/Applications
