Research Article Cites Viraffinity™ in Study of Viral Encephalitis
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, September 13, 2022 -- Biotech Support Group reports on a new research article describing the simplicity and efficiency of their virus enrichment technology for Sindbis virus (SINV) expressed in cell culture. The citation is:
Yeh, Jane X., et al. "Treatment of Sindbis Virus-Infected Neurons with Antibody to E2 Alters Synthesis of Complete and nsP1-Expressing Defective Viral RNAs." Mbio (2022): e02221-22. Alphaviruses
are important causes of viral encephalomyelitis without approved
treatments or vaccines. Antibody to the Sindbis virus (SINV) E2
glycoprotein is required for immune-mediated noncytolytic virus
clearance from neurons. The investigation used direct RNA nanopore
sequencing to evaluate how anti-E2 antibody affects SINV replication
at the RNA level. The article states ”Extracellular virus
particles were isolated from cell culture supernatant fluids …
using the Viraffinity virus and viral component isolation kit (BSG).
For Viraffinity, virus-containing medium was added at a 4:1 ratio to
the water-insoluble elastomeric polyelectrolyte and then
microcentrifuged. (Viraffinity™-enriched) Virus pellets were
directly lysed with TRIzol reagent….”.
The study concludes that
antibody-treated neurons released a lower proportion of
SINV particles with capped genomes necessary for translation and
infection.
“This report demonstrates that Viraffinity™ can substitute for the gold-standard of enrichment using gradient ultracentrifugation. However, the Viraffinity™ method is so simple, it can be applied using a conventional microfuge, and the viral nucleic acids can be directly isolated from the viral pellet. I am very pleased that by using Viraffinity™, the research was able to better understand virus clearance from neurons.” states Swapan Roy, Ph.D., President and Founder of Biotech Support Group.
