COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING CARGO TO A TARGET CELL

Provided herein are compositions, systems, and methods for delivering cargo to a target cell. The compositions, systems, and methods comprise one or more polynucleotides encoding one or more endogenous retroviral elements for forming a delivery vesicle and one or more capture moieties for packaging a cargo within the delivery vesicle. The one or more endogenous retroviral elements for forming a delivery vesicle may comprise two or more of a retroviral gag protein, a retroviral envelope protein, a retroviral reverse transcriptase or a combination thereof. The retroviral gag protein alone, the retroviral envelope protein alone, or both the retroviral gag protein and retroviral envelope protein may be endogenous.
