The design and generation of a number of chimeric VSV-G (or VSV-G variants) proteins are used as transfer vehicles to enhance delivery of nucleic acids like plasmid DNA, single and double stranded DNA and RNA, and antisense oligonucleotides into human and animal cells. These chimeric VSV-G protein-nucleic acid transfer vehicles have widespread applications to deliver nucleic acids for exon skipping and gene delivery for gene replacement in human and animals.
