1. A method of treating tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-sensitive cancer in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent comprising a potato virus X (PVX) plant virus particle or virus-like particle (VLP) which is non-covalently conjugated via a nickel-coordinated nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) module to at least one TRAIL by coordination bonds between the Ni-NTA modules displayed on the PVX plant virus particle or VLP outer surface and a histidine-tag on TRAIL.
