Enhanced real-time monitoring of adeno-associated virus trafficking by virus-quantum dot conjugates.
The unique spectral properties of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) enable long-term live-cell imaging and ultrasensitive detection of viral particles, which in turn can potentially provide a practical means for detailed analysis of the underlying molecular mechanisms of virus entry. In this study, we report a general method of labeling adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2) with QDs for enhan...
متن کاملGeneration of Helper Plasmids Encoding Mutant Adeno-associated Virus Type 2 Capsid Proteins with Increased Resistance against Proteasomal Degradation
Objective(s): Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) vectors are widely used for both experimental and clinical gene therapy. A recent research has shown that the performance of these vectors can be greatly improved by substitution of specific surface-exposed tyrosine residues with phenylalanines. In this study, a fast and simple method is presented to generate AAV2 vector helper plasmids encod...
متن کاملImpact of VP1-specific protein sequence motifs on adeno-associated virus type 2 intracellular trafficking and nuclear entry.
Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) has gained much interest as a gene delivery vector. A hallmark of AAV2-mediated gene transfer is an intracellular conformational change of the virus capsid, leading to the exposure of infection-relevant protein domains. These protein domains, which are located on the N-terminal portion of the structural proteins VP1 and VP2, include a catalytic phospholipase...
متن کاملImpaired intracellular trafficking of adeno-associated virus type 2 vectors limits efficient transduction of murine fibroblasts.
Although adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV) has gained attention as a potentially useful alternative to the more commonly used retrovirus- and adenovirus-based vectors for human gene therapy, efficient gene transfer and transgene expression by AAV vectors require that the following two obstacles be overcome. First, the target cell must express the receptor and the coreceptor for AAV infection,...
متن کاملNovel approaches to augment adeno-associated virus type-2 endocytosis and transduction.
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) receptor binding, endocytosis, nuclear trafficking and second strand gene conversion have been described as potential rate-limiting steps in rAAV type-2 (rAAV-2) transduction. Several strategies have been developed to enhance rAAV-2 intracellular trafficking and gene conversion in an attempt to increase the efficiency of this virus as a gene therapy vec...
