We are developing a technology that uses Nipah virus-like particles (VLPs) to deliver cargo proteins into cells. In this experiment, we explored increasing VLP production efficiency by introducing mutations in the Nipah matrix protein. Six mutants were tested, and the Y187L mutant significantly increased VLP production by 1.5-fold. This mutation could be used to substantially reduce the cost of large-scale VLP production.
