Tracking virus infection events in live cells is useful for understanding the mechanism of virus infection, and fluorescent labelling is a critical step. Herein a noninvasive strategy for labelling viruses with His-tags was developed by in situ modifying the cell surface proteins with polypeptides containing His-tags during progeny virus assembly. The His-tagged viruses were further conjugated with Ni-nitrilotriacetate complex modified quantum dots, and retained their infectivity for real-time single virus tracking in living cells.
追踪活细胞中的病毒感染事件有助于了解病毒感染的机制,而荧光标记是关键步骤。在此,通过在子代病毒组装过程中在细胞表面蛋白原位修饰含 His 标签的多肽,开发了一种非侵入性的用 His 标签标记病毒的策略。随后,将带 His 标签的病毒与 Ni- 次氮基三乙酸复合修饰的量子点进行偶联,并且在活细胞中进行实时单病毒追踪时,保持了其感染性。
