Article Synopsis
- Drosophila retrotransposon copia produces virus-like particles (VLPs) essential for its replication, containing copia RNA and reverse transcriptase.
- A new, efficient method for purifying these VLPs from Drosophila S2 cells is introduced, streamlining the process by using simple centrifugation instead of complex gradients.
- The study confirms the presence and purity of VLPs through multiple analysis techniques and reveals that copia particles are primarily found in the nucleus of the cells.
