Introduction

The Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) has been well researched since it has been defined a virus in 1898 by Martinus Beijerinck. TMV has been used as a model virus for a teaching tool in biology classes and as a scaffold for drug delivery mechanisms. Since there has been much research done on this virus previously, TMV has a widely accepted and well-defined structure. The scaffolding of this virus is of particular interest because its protein base serves as a template for precise targeting of surface groups on cells. Plant viruses have drawn more attention since they are unable to infect mammalian hosts and have good blood and tissue compatibility in mammals. TMV is also to biodegradable and able to be cleaned out of non-target tissues and organs, making TMV a probable candidate for the targeting and delivery of therapeutics to mammals. [1]
