Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small single-stranded DNA virus that requires the presence of a helper virus, such as adenovirus or herpes virus, to efficiently replicate its genome. AAV DNA is replicated by a rolling-hairpin mechanism (Ward, 2006), and during replication several DNA intermediates can be detected. This detailed protocol describes how to analyze the AAV DNA intermediates formed during AAV replication using a modified Hirt extract (Hirt, 1967) procedure and Southern blotting (Southern, 1975).
腺相关病毒(AAV)是一种小型单链DNA病毒,它需要辅助病毒(如腺病毒或疱疹病毒)的存在才能有效地复制其基因组。AAV DNA通过滚发夹机制进行复制(沃德,2006年),并且在复制过程中可以检测到几种DNA中间体。本详细方案描述了如何使用改良的Hirt提取物(Hirt,1967年)方法和Southern印迹法(Southern,1975年)分析AAV复制过程中形成的AAV DNA中间体。
