Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods for identifying substances suitable as medicaments for the treatment of viral infections, or for testing their effectiveness.
- the present invention further relates to the use of a corresponding method for observing the route of infection and / or mechanism of viruses in cells, in particular viruses, which are provided as a gene ferry for gene expression or as vectors or / and for gene therapy.
- viruses occur in areas as diverse as virus infection (virus penetration into the living cell), immunology (viruses as antigen or antigen producer) and gene expression or gene therapy (viruses as a gene shuttle). Often, it is of particular interest to detect the smallest possible concentration of viruses up to the ultimate analytical limit, the detection of a single virus.
- viruses have been B. indirectly detected by their expressed secondary products or were radiolabelled. Attempts to detect viruses marked by fluorescent dyes have so far had to be limited to the detection of a large accumulation of viruses (JS Bartlett, R. Wucher, RJ Samulski. "Infectious Entry Pathway of Adeno-Associated Virus and Adeno-Associated Virus Vectors ". Journal of Virology, Vol. 74 (2000) 2777), which are also often not only with one dye but with many Dyes per virus (PL Leopold, B. Ferris, I. Grinberg, S. Worgall, NR hackett, RG Crystal. "Fluorescent Virions: Dynamic Tracking of the Pathway of Adenoviral Gene Transfer Vectors in Living Cells". Human Gene Therapy 9 (1998 ) 367) were labeled.
- the object is achieved according to the invention by a method for identifying substances suitable as medicaments for the treatment of virus infections or for testing their effectiveness, in which individual viruses are marked with one or more fluorescent dye molecules and the influence of the substance on the viruses or / and theirs Infection route after excitation determined microscopically via the fluorescence of the dye in comparison with a control sample.
- the method according to the invention provides for the first time a possibility of tracking the path of an individual virus into a cell and the further migration of the virus components within the cell. If this is carried out in parallel for a sample to which a substance is added whose influence on the viral infection is to be investigated and for a control sample, information can be obtained as to whether the substance influences the infection cycle and at which point such an influence takes place.
- the virus is by binding a single dye molecule in its biological / physiological properties, for.
- the individual steps of a virus infection of a living cell such as docking to receptors on the cell membrane, penetration of the cell membrane, diffusion or active transport in the cytoplasm or penetration into the cell nucleus as well as deposition of the viral DNA in the cell nucleus can be detailed for the first time and under physiological conditions to be watched.
- the addition of substances to be examined and their effects on the virus infection can be closely observed.
- the method according to the invention is based on the detection of individual viruses using the single-molecule fluorescence technique.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that the individual virus is labeled with one or more fluorescent dye molecules and can be followed via the fluorescence.
- the method can therefore be used for all possible uses of viruses in which it is important to achieve high to highest analytical sensitivity, in particular for the detection of individual viruses.
- the method for detecting individual viruses enables in particular the detection of viruses on their way of infection into a living cell.
- the virus becomes visible in the microscope through a fluorescence point that can be tracked in real time with a spatial resolution of 1 to 40 nm and with a time resolution of 1 to 40 ms.
- the method allows the detection a) of a single virus b) which is labeled with only one dye and thus has practically no change on its surface and its biochemical / physiological
- B. Detect mechanisms of virus entry into the living cell with the highest analytical resolution. It can also be used to test antidotes / methods to prevent viruses from entering the cell with the greatest precision. Furthermore, the behavior of viruses such as. B. recognize their selectivity with regard to the entry into certain cells as well as appropriate countermeasures. d) All of this can be tracked in real time in the living cell with high spatial and time resolution.
- the detection sensitivity in the method according to the invention is such that a single fluorescent dye can already be detected in a molecule.
- the virus only has to be labeled with one (or more, but a few, preferably 2 to 3) dye molecules in order to be detectable as a single virus.
- the advantage of this is that the surface of the virus is practically not changed by the minimal labeling and the virus maintains its biological / physiological properties.
- the fluorescent dyes used in the method according to the invention are bound to the virus, in a preferred embodiment to N-terminal amino acid residues of the capsid proteins of the virus. Binding to proteins mutated site-specifically with cysteine is also a preferred possibility according to the invention.
- dye 1 can be bound to the capsid and dye 2 to the DNA of the virus. This later allows, for example, tracking the separation of the capsid and DNA of the virus.
- the dye molecule or molecules are bound to the viral DNA or to internal proteins.
- the binding of dye molecules can in principle take place directly, but can also take place via selective antibodies which are directed against a virus component and which in turn are labeled with a dye molecule.
- the marking is carried out via a specific binding pair or via cargo systems carried on the virus.
- cargo systems are, for example, liposomes or polylysine-DNA complexes (E. Wagner et al. P.N.A.S 89 (1992) 6099.).
- cargo systems can also e.g. contain other drugs.
- the binding pair used is preferably biotin / streptavidin, biotin is preferably bound to viral protein (e.g. capsid protein) and the preferably dye is conjugated to streptavidin.
- the fluorescent dye on the virus z. B. with the aid of a light source (preferably a laser, preferably a HeNe laser or a laser diode) through a microscope objective (expanded beam) and the fluorescence is collected with the same microscope objective and with a highly sensitive detector (in particular a CCD camera or an avalanche) Photodiode) detected [Farfield Excitation Imaging (T. Schmidt, GJ Schütz, W. Baumgartner, HJ. Gruber, H. Schindler. J. Phys. Chem.
- suitable fluorescent dyes are dyes with good fluorescence properties, preferably in the long-wave green or in the red spectral range, which can be excited with a large absorption cross section and show high fluorescence quantum yield and high photo stability.
- Dye used with particular preference according to the invention is notable for high fluorescence quantum yield, high photo stability, typically excitation in the green or red spectral range with a high absorption cross section and connectivity, e.g. B. covalently (JS Bartlett, R. Wucher, RJ Samulski. "Infectious Entry Pathway of Adeno-Associated Virus and Adeno-Associated Virus Vectors". Journal of Virology, Vol. 74 (2000) 2777) to a free N-terminal amino acid residue the capsid protein of a virus. Furthermore, site-specific mutagenesis can bring cysteine into a specific position of the capsid protein and there the dye can be specifically bound to the SH group.
- Luminescent nanoparticles are known to the person skilled in the art and are described in the specialist literature (Bruchez M, Moronne M, Gin P, Weiss S, Alivisatos AP. Semiconductornanocrystals as fluorescent biological labeis ". Science 281 (1998) 2013-6).
- the sample consists e.g. B. from monodisperse living cells that have grown on a slide. These are covered with a nutrient solution. At the beginning of the experiment, this is drawn off and replaced by a buffer solution (for example PBS), and then the virus solution is added as the start of the experiment.
- a buffer solution for example PBS
- the technique used in the method according to the invention is characterized in that the excitation takes place via a light source, preferably a laser, particularly preferably a simple HeNe laser or a laser diode.
- a light source preferably a laser, particularly preferably a simple HeNe laser or a laser diode.
- the excitation can also take place via a strong laser with the so-called two-photon excitation.
- the excitation of two or more different fluorescent dyes is carried out simultaneously using different laser lines and using a frequency-variable laser.
- the microscope used comprises different modes which enable the cell and its components to be displayed simultaneously or / and independently of the detection of the virus.
- the cell can thus be displayed in the transmitted light method with its own light source and phase contrast, difference interference or polarization contrast techniques can be used.
