Abstract
The binding and internalization of adeno-associated virus (AAV) is an important determinant of viral infectivity and tropism. The ability to dissect these two tightly connected cellular processes would allow better understanding and provide insight on virus entry and trafficking. In the following protocol, we describe a quantitative PCR (qPCR) based method to determine the amount of vector bound to the cell surface and the amount of subsequent virus internalization based on viral genome quantification. This protocol is optimized for studying AAV. Nevertheless, it can serve as a backbone for studying other viruses with careful modification.
Keywords: Adeno-associated virus (腺相关病毒)Background
Studies that assess AAV biology generally use transgene expression as the experimental endpoint. However, there are a number of critical steps AAV must successfully navigate before it reaches the nucleus and transduces the cell. Therefore, there are multiple distinct steps in the AAV infectious pathway that could be disrupted individually or collectively, leading to altered transduction. Assessment of AAV binding and internalization are important first steps in determining the cause of transduction differences observed upon cellular modification by small molecules, CRISPR-based gene knockout, siRNA-based gene knockdown, or other experimental procedures.
