The bio-nanocapsule (BNC) is our concept of artificial hollow nanoparticles that have been designed and produced through biotechnological procedures. We proposed an empty virus-like particle, which consists of a recombinant L envelope protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and a lipid derived from the host cell, as an engineered BNC. Although this BNC was first developed as an immunogen of hepatitis B vaccine, the pre-S1 region in N-terminus of L envelope protein confers hepatocyte specific infectivity of HBV on the BNC. This recombinant BNC is now being developed as a novel platform of drug delivery system (DDS) vector for selective delivery.
