Q1: If pseudovirus particles encapsulate a fluorescent protein, can fluorescence only be detected after transfection into cells?
In pseudoviruses, there are only nucleic acid sequences of fluorescent proteins, but no fluorescent proteins. Fluorescence can only be detected when transfected into cells. Fluorescence cannot be detected in a single pseudovirus.
Q2: Virus particle size
About 100 to 120 nanometers.
Q3: Shelf life at 4°C
The impact is not significant within a short period of 12 hours, but if it lasts for a long time, the activity will decrease or even become unusable. Store at -80 degrees Celsius and avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Q4: Titer
Gradient dilution method, greater than 1 × 10 to the power of 7. We use the gradient dilution method. We use the same number of cells. For example, if the number of cells is all 1E+5, if 10ul of the virus is added and all the cells are fully infected, it is overinfection. If 1ul is added and 10% of the cells are infected, then 1ul of the virus has infected 1E+4 cells. Therefore, 1ml can infect 1E+7 cells. It's roughly calculated like this.
Q5: Luciferase value
Different instruments and reagent kits vary, approximately 10 to the power of 5 to 6.
Q6: In neutralization assays, how much reduction is considered effective?
This is hard to define. A 50-70% ratio can be considered to have a relatively good effect.
Q7: Can our infectable pseudovirus be detected using an S protein detection reagent for COVID-19?
Theoretically, it's possible, but we haven't tested it.
Q8: Dosage for infectable cells
The amount of pseudovirus that can infect cells in each well of a 96-well plate is 2-10 μ l, and the pseudovirus concentration is 1-10 to the power of 7, with 1 μ l being 10 to the power of 4.
Q9: Amount per well for cells to be infected
At 110 to the power of 4, cultivate for 24 hours (about 1.5 times the growth, that is, 210 to the power of 4). Overall: The recommended ratio of the number of cells to be infected and the pseudovirus is 1:5 to 1:1.
Q10: Can our infectable pseudovirus infect Vero cells?
Vero cells have not been tested for infection. Currently, the only cells we have tested are 293 series cells with ACE2 overexpression, wild-type huh7 cells, but the efficiency of huh7 is not high, and there is also a bhk21 cell.
Q11: Is the pseudovirus based on an HIV backbone?
Yes.
Q12: What does "mock" mean in the instructions?
mock is an empty cell.
Q13: What kit is used to activate the luciferase in the pseudovirus?
We use promega.
Q14: How is the infectable pseudovirus constructed?
It is modified from the HIV skeleton, with an S protein envelope added, and the carrier plasmid contains GFP and luciferase. The three plasmids of a regular lentivirus = the packaging plasmid of the lentivirus +VSVG envelope shell + vector plasmid (containing the target gene). The three plasmids of pseudoviruses that can infect cells = lentivirus packaging plasmid + SARS-CoV-2 S protein envelope shell + carrier plasmid (containing GFP and luciferase).
Q15: Product color
Some products are slightly pink in color, but this does not affect their use.
Q16: Is it single or dual fluorescence?
At present, they are all monofluorescent fireflies.
Q17: PCR定量引物
ZsGreen-QPCR-F:ACGAGTCCAAGTTCTACGGC ZsGreen-QPCR-R:CGGGGATGATCTTCTCGCAG。
Q18: What is the 3.8k gene sequence or primer sequence for the S gene in the infectious pseudovirus?
Only relevant references are provided. The sequence is not disclosed to the public.
Q19: What is the current status of the infectable pseudovirus?
At present, the pseudoviruses that can infect cells mainly consist of two types: the HIV skeleton and the VSV skeleton. Both types of viruses can be used in cell experiments and animal experiments. The VSV skeleton pseudovirus is slightly more efficient in animal experiments. Our pseudovirus is based on the HIV skeleton. The three plasmids of the HIV skeleton pseudovirus = the packaging plasmid of lentivirus (HIV) + the encapsulation shell of the S protein of COVID-19 + the vector plasmid (containing GFp and luciferase). The three plasmids of the VSV skeleton pseudovirus = the packaging plasmid of the vesicular stomatitis virus vector (VSV) + the envelope shell of the SARS-CoV-2 protein + the vector plasmid (containing GFp or luciferase). Animal experiments with pseudoviruses: First, adenovirus is used to induce overexpression of ace2 cells in some tissues or organs of animals, and then pseudoviruses that can infect cells are used for infection experiments.

Q21: Can the morphology of this pseudovirus be captured by transmission electron microscopy? Can nucleic acid information be extracted?

Positive controls can be provided. They have been prepared and cost 150 yuan per copy
Q25: Can it be used for IC50 determination?
It can be done
Q26: Composition of the product storage solution
Because it is the solvent of the virus preservation solution, there may be trace amounts of serum, DMEM medium residue, and some impurity proteins from cells remaining in the virus, all of which cannot be completely removed
Q27: 可否用投射电镜拍到该假病毒形貌,可否提取核酸信息
病毒是颗粒状的,正常是能用投射电镜拍到形貌;病毒里的核酸序列除了S蛋白序列之外,都是假病毒的核酸序列,不是新冠病毒的核酸序列
Q28: 假病毒是可溶的蛋白还是颗粒状的?如果是颗粒状的加入到LB或者MSgg培养基是否会对它有影响?
假病毒是颗粒状的;没有测试其在LB或MSgg培养基中的影响
Q29: 如果假病毒颗粒中包裹有荧光蛋白是不是只有转染到细胞才能检测到荧光?
假病毒里只有荧光蛋白核酸序列,没有荧光蛋白,只有转染到细胞才能检测到荧光,单独的假病毒不能检测到荧光
Q30: What is the virus particle size?
About 100 to 120 nanometers.
Q31: What is the shelf life when stored at 4°C?
The impact is not significant within a short period of 12 hours, but if it lasts for a long time, the activity will decrease or even become unusable. Store at -80 degrees Celsius and avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Q32: What is the titer?
Gradient dilution method, greater than 1 × 10 to the power of 7. We use the gradient dilution method. We use the same number of cells. For example, if the number of cells is all 1E+5, if 10ul of the virus is added and all the cells are fully infected, it is overinfection. If 1ul is added and 10% of the cells are infected, then 1ul of the virus has infected 1E+4 cells. Therefore, 1ml can infect 1E+7 cells. It's roughly calculated like this.
