Five days post-transfection, cell suspensions (viability ≥95%) were centrifuged for 15 min at 3200 rpm on a Sorvall legend RT centrifuge (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cell supernatants were then treated with 10 U/mL of Denarase (C-LEcta), 5 mM of MgCl2, and incubated for 1 h at 37 °C. For VLP sedimentation, treated supernatants were centrifuged over a 15% Optiprep (w/v) (Sigma-Aldrich)19 (link) cushion (10% of total volume) at 5300 × g for 16 h at 4 °C. After centrifugation, supernatants were discarded and pellets resuspended in DPBS (Cytiva).
