作者没有什么可透露的。

同时可视化 RNA、DNA 和蛋白质通常需要广泛的优化。两种常用的方法是5-乙炔基-2-脱氧尿苷（EdU）标记和DNA FISH。EdU标记已被应用于同时可视化病毒DNA和蛋白质，因为EdU被掺入新生DNA中，随后通过点击化学 用 含叠氮化物的荧光染料标记。因此，EdU标记可用于监测DNA病毒的天然病毒复制动力学或具有DNA模板的病毒进行复制12。然而，EdU标记的一个缺点是，在分裂细胞中，复制...

虽然数以千计的商业抗体可用于通过常规免疫染色方法特异性标记蛋白质，并且虽然融合蛋白可以使用光优化荧光标签进行工程设计以跟踪样品中的多种蛋白质1，但蛋白质的显微可视化通常与传统的DNA荧光原位杂交（FISH）不兼容2.使用基于荧光的方法同时可视化DNA、RNA和蛋白质的技术限制阻碍了对病毒复制的深入了解。在感染过程中跟踪病毒核酸和蛋白质使病毒学家能够可视化病毒复制和组装的基本过程3，4，5，6。
我们开发了一种成像方法，即基于d na，rNA和Protein的成像方法m ultiplex immunofluorescent cell（MICDDRP）3，该方法利用支链DNA（bDNA）原位技术来提高核酸检测的灵敏度7，8，9.此外，该方法利用成对探针来增强特异性。bDNA序列特异性探针使用分支前置放大器和放大器DNA产生强烈的局部信号，改进了以前的杂交方法，该方法依赖于靶向DNA9中的重复区域。临床环境中的受感染细胞通常不含丰富的病毒遗传物质，为诊断环境中荧光核酸检测的灵敏方法提供了商品。通过RNAscope7和ViewRNA10等方法实现bDNA技术的商业化填补了这一空白。bDNA荧光成像的灵敏度在细胞生物学中也具有重要的用途，可以检测细胞培养模型中稀缺的核酸种类。灵敏度的巨大提高使基于bDNA的成像方法适用于研究病毒。然而，一个潜在的缺点是这些方法专注于可视化RNA或RNA和蛋白质。所有复制细胞和许多病毒在其复制周期中都具有DNA基因组或形成DNA，因此非常需要能够对RNA和DNA以及蛋白质进行成像的方法。
在MICDDRP协议中，我们使用RNAscope方法进行bDNA FISH以检测病毒核酸，并修饰7。该方案的主要修改之一是化学固定后蛋白酶处理的优化。蛋白酶处理有助于去除与核酸结合的蛋白质，从而提高探针杂交效率。蛋白酶处理后用支链寡核苷酸探针孵育。应用bDNA探针后，洗涤样品，随后与信号前置放大器和放大器DNA一起孵育。多重原位杂交（ISH），标记多个基因靶标，需要具有不同颜色通道的靶标探针进行光谱分化7。用DNA扩音器孵育后进行免疫荧光（IF）。
bDNA ISH通过放大靶标特异性信号来改善信噪比，并减少非特异性杂交事件的背景噪声7，11。靶探针是使用公开可用的软件程序设计的，这些软件程序预测非特异性杂交事件的概率，并计算探针-目标杂交7，11的熔解温度（Tm）。靶探针包含一个与靶DNA/RNA序列互补的18至25碱基区域、一个间隔序列和一个14个碱基的尾部序列。一对靶探针，每个探针具有不同的尾序列，杂交到目标区域（跨越~50个碱基）。两个尾序列形成前置放大器探针的杂交位点，其中包含20个放大器探针的结合位点，此外还包含20个标记探针的结合位点。例如，核酸分子上的一千碱基（kb）区域被20个探针对靶向，从而创建一个分子支架，用于与前置放大器、放大器和标记探针进行顺序杂交。因此，这可以使每个核酸分子的理论产量达到8000个荧光标记，从而能够检测单个分子，并且比传统的FISH方法7有了巨大的改进（bDNA信号扩增示意图见图1A）。要为多路复用 ISH 设置探针，每个目标探针必须位于不同的颜色通道（C1、C2 或 C3）中。这些具有不同颜色通道的目标探针具有不同的14碱基尾序列。这些尾部序列会将不同的信号放大器与不同的荧光探针结合，从而实现跨多个目标的光谱分化。在所提出的方案中，步骤9中的表4提供了有关荧光标记靶探针的更多信息。此外，图2和图3提供了我们如何选择合适的放大器4-FL（A，B或C）（荧光探针和最终杂交步骤）的示例，以实现HIV-1和HTLV-1感染后多个病毒核酸靶标的特异性荧光标记。
我们已经展示了同时对RNA，DNA和蛋白质进行荧光可视化的几种应用，以高时空分辨率3，4，5观察病毒复制的关键阶段。例如，病毒RNA，细胞质和核DNA以及蛋白质的同时单细胞可视化使我们能够可视化HIV-1感染期间的关键事件，包括在核进入和前病毒DNA3整合之前跟踪细胞质中含有核心的RNA。此外，我们还应用MICDDRP来表征宿主因子和药物治疗对病毒感染和复制的影响4，5。在Ukah等人中，我们跟踪了用不同潜伏逆转剂处理的潜伏期细胞模型中HIV-1转录的再激活，以可视化HIV转录和潜伏期逆转4。此外，MICDDRP可以让我们可视化与小分子治疗或宿主因子限制引起的抗病毒抑制相关的表型变化。作为我们方法稳健性和广泛适用性的概念证明，我们已经证明，我们可以使用我们的方案的修改来有效地标记病毒核酸，以跟踪感染，不仅在人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）-1，而且在人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒（HTLV）-1，乙型肝炎病毒（HBV），丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）， 寨卡病毒（ZIKV）和甲型流感病毒（IAV）。由于HIV-1生命周期由病毒DNA和RNA物种组成，因此我们已经根据HIV-1复制动力学对MICDDRP进行了大部分优化。然而，此外，我们已经证明，我们可以跟踪ZIKV，IAV，HBV和HCV等病毒中或两种感觉（+）和反义（-）链的不同病毒RNA转录本的合成，以监测病毒转录和复制3，4，5，6。这些研究旨在提高对几种病毒过程的机制理解，并作为将这种荧光成像技术应用于各种细胞模型的指南。

由于缺乏能够灵敏和同时标记病毒核酸和蛋白质的强大原位杂交（ISH）技术，捕获病毒的动态复制和组装过程受到了阻碍。传统的DNA荧光原位杂交（FISH）方法通常与免疫染色不兼容。因此，我们开发了一种成像方法 MICDDRP （multiplex immunofluorescent c ell-basedd etection of D NA， RNA和 Protein），该方法能够同时进行DNA，RNA和蛋白质的单细胞可视化。与传统的DNA鱼相比，MIDDRP采用支链DNA（bDNA）ISH技术，可显著提高寡核苷酸探针的灵敏度和检测。MICDDRP的微小修饰能够同时对病毒蛋白进行成像，同时具有不同链的核酸（RNA或DNA）。我们已经应用这些协议来研究多种病毒病原体的生命周期，包括人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）-1，人类嗜T淋巴细胞病毒（HTLV）-1，乙型肝炎病毒（HBV），丙型肝炎病毒（HCV），寨卡病毒（ZKV）和甲型流感病毒（IAV）。我们证明了我们可以有效地标记各种病毒中的病毒核酸和蛋白质。这些研究可以为我们提供对多种病毒系统的机理理解，此外，还可以作为在广泛的细胞系统中应用DNA，RNA和蛋白质的多重荧光成像的模板。

Visualizing Cell-to-cell Transfer of HIV using Fluorescent Clones of HIV and Live Confocal Microscopy

By fusing the green fluorescent protein to their favorite proteins, biologists now have the ability to study living complex cellular processes using fluorescence video microscopy. To track the movements of the human immunodeficiency virus core protein during cell-to-cell transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, we have GFP-tagged the Gag protein in the context of an infectious molecular clone of HIV, called HIV Gag-iGFP. We study this viral clone using video confocal microscopy. In the following visualized experiment, we transfect a human T cell line with HIV Gag-iGFP, and we use fluorescently labeled uninfected CD4+ T cells to serve as target cells for the virus. Using the different fluorescent labels we can readily follow viral production and transport across intercellular structures called virological synapses. Simple gas permeable imaging chambers allow us to observe synapses with live confocal microscopy from minutes to days. These approaches can be used to track viral proteins as they move in from one cell to the next.

This visualized experiment is a guide for utilizing a fluorescent molecular clone of HIV for live confocal imaging experiments.

Multiplexed Isothermal Amplification Based Diagnostic Platform to Detect Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue 1

Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses are transmitted by mosquitoes, causing diseases with similar patient symptoms. However, they have different downstream patient-to-patient transmission potentials, and require very different patient treatments. Thus, recent Zika outbreaks make it urgent to develop tools that rapidly discriminate these viruses in patients and trapped mosquitoes, to select the correct patient treatment, and to understand and manage their epidemiology in real time.
Unfortunately, current diagnostic tests, including those receiving 2016 emergency use authorizations and fast-track status, detect viral RNA by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which requires instrumentation, trained users, and considerable sample preparation. Thus, they must be sent to &#34;approved&#34; reference laboratories, requiring time. Indeed, in August 2016, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) was asking pregnant women who had been bitten by a mosquito and developed a Zika-indicating rash to wait an unacceptable 2 to 4 weeks before learning whether they were infected. We very much need tests that can be done on site, with few resources, and by trained but not necessarily licensed personnel.
This video demonstrates an assay that meets these specifications, working with urine or serum (for patients) or crushed mosquito carcasses (for environmental surveillance), all without much sample preparation. Mosquito carcasses are captured on paper carrying quaternary ammonium groups (Q-paper) followed by ammonia treatment to manage biohazards. These are then directly, without RNA isolation, put into assay tubes containing freeze-dried reagents that need no chain of refrigeration. A modified form of reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification with target-specific fluorescently tagged displaceable probes produces readout, in 30 min, as a three-color fluorescence signal. This is visualized with a handheld, battery-powered device with an orange filter. Forward contamination is prevented with sealed tubes, and the use of thermolabile uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) in the presence of dUTP in the amplification mixture.

Current multiplexed diagnostics to detect Zika, chikungunya, and dengue viruses require complex sample preparation and expensive instrumentation, and are difficult to use in low resource environments. We show a diagnostic that uses isothermal amplification with target-specific strand displaceable probes to detect and differentiate these viruses with high sensitivity and specificity.

High-throughput Detection Method for Influenza Virus

Influenza virus is a respiratory pathogen that causes a high degree of morbidity and mortality every year in multiple parts of the world. Therefore, precise diagnosis of the infecting strain and rapid high-throughput screening of vast numbers of clinical samples is paramount to control the spread of pandemic infections. Current clinical diagnoses of influenza infections are based on serologic testing, polymerase chain reaction, direct specimen immunofluorescence and cell culture 1,2.
Here, we report the development of a novel diagnostic technique used to detect live influenza viruses. We used the mouse-adapted human A/PR/8/34 (PR8, H1N1) virus 3 to test the efficacy of this technique using MDCK cells 4. MDCK cells (104 or 5 x 103 per well) were cultured in 96- or 384-well plates, infected with PR8 and viral proteins were detected using anti-M2 followed by an IR dye-conjugated secondary antibody. M2 5 and hemagglutinin 1 are two major marker proteins used in many different diagnostic assays. Employing IR-dye-conjugated secondary antibodies minimized the autofluorescence associated with other fluorescent dyes. The use of anti-M2 antibody allowed us to use the antigen-specific fluorescence intensity as a direct metric of viral quantity. To enumerate the fluorescence intensity, we used the LI-COR Odyssey-based IR scanner. This system uses two channel laser-based IR detections to identify fluorophores and differentiate them from background noise. The first channel excites at 680 nm and emits at 700 nm to help quantify the background. The second channel detects fluorophores that excite at 780 nm and emit at 800 nm. Scanning of PR8-infected MDCK cells in the IR scanner indicated a viral titer-dependent bright fluorescence. A positive correlation of fluorescence intensity to virus titer starting from 102-105 PFU could be consistently observed. Minimal but detectable positivity consistently seen with 102-103 PFU PR8 viral titers demonstrated the high sensitivity of the near-IR dyes. The signal-to-noise ratio was determined by comparing the mock-infected or isotype antibody-treated MDCK cells.
Using the fluorescence intensities from 96- or 384-well plate formats, we constructed standard titration curves. In these calculations, the first variable is the viral titer while the second variable is the fluorescence intensity. Therefore, we used the exponential distribution to generate a curve-fit to determine the polynomial relationship between the viral titers and fluorescence intensities. Collectively, we conclude that IR dye-based protein detection system can help diagnose infecting viral strains and precisely enumerate the titer of the infecting pathogens.

This method describes the use of Infrared dye based imaging system for detection of H1N1 in bronchioalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of infected mice at a high sensitivity. This methodology can be performed in a 96- or 384-well plate, requires &lt;10 &mu;l volume of test material and has the potential for concurrent screening of multiple pathogens.

A Technique to Simultaneously Visualize Virus-Specific CD8+ T Cells and Virus-Infected Cells In situ

The numbers and locations of virus-specific CD8+ T cells relative to the numbers and locations of their infected cell targets is thought to be critical in determining outcomes that range from clearance to chronic persistent infections. We describe here a method for assessing the spatial and quantitative relationships between immune effector (E) virus-specific CD8+ T cells and infected targets (T) that combines in situ tetramer (IST) staining to detect virus-specific CD8+ T cells and in situ hybridization (ISH) to detect viral-RNA+ cells in the tissues where the battle between immune defenses and infection takes place. The combination of IST staining and ISH, abbreviated ISTH, enables visualization and mapping of the locations of immune effector cells and targets, and facile determination of E:T ratios.  These parameters in turn can then be used to determine the relationships between spatial proximity, and the timing and magnitude of the immune response that predict outcomes in early infection.

Single-cell Quantitation of mRNA and Surface Protein Expression in Simian Immunodeficiency Virus-infected CD4+ T Cells Isolated from Rhesus macaques

Single-cell analysis is an important tool for dissecting heterogeneous populations of cells. The identification and isolation of rare cells can be difficult. To overcome this challenge, a methodology combining indexed flow cytometry and high-throughput multiplexed quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was developed. The objective was to identify and characterize simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected cells present within rhesus macaques. Through quantitation of surface protein by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and mRNA by qPCR, virus-infected cells are identified by viral gene expression, which is combined with host gene and protein measurements to create a multidimensional profile. We term the approach, targeted Single-Cell Proteo-transcriptional Evaluation, or tSCEPTRE. To perform the method, viable cells are stained with fluorescent antibodies specific for surface markers used for FACS isolation of a cell subset and/or downstream phenotypic analysis. Single cells are sorted followed by immediate lysis, multiplex reverse transcription (RT), PCR pre-amplification, and high throughput qPCR of up to 96 transcripts. FACS measurements are recorded at the time of sorting and subsequently linked to the gene expression data by well position to create a combined protein and transcriptional profile. To study SIV-infected cells directly ex vivo, cells were identified by qPCR detection of multiple viral RNA species. The combination of viral transcripts and the quantity of each provide a framework for classifying cells into distinct stages of the viral life cycle (e.g., productive versus non-productive). Moreover, tSCEPTRE of SIV+ cells were compared to uninfected cells isolated from the same specimen to assess differentially expressed host genes and proteins. The analysis revealed previously unappreciated viral RNA expression heterogeneity among infected cells as well as in vivo SIV-mediated post-transcriptional gene regulation with single-cell resolution. The tSCEPTRE method is relevant for the analysis of any cell population amenable to identification by expression of surface protein marker(s), host or pathogen gene(s), or combinations thereof.

Detection of Viral RNA by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)

Viruses that infect cells elicit specific changes to normal cell functions which serve to divert energy and resources for viral replication. Many aspects of host cell function are commandeered by viruses, usually by the expression of viral gene products that recruit host cell proteins and machineries. Moreover, viruses engineer specific membrane organelles or tag on to mobile vesicles and motor proteins to target regions of the cell (during de novo infection, viruses co-opt molecular motor proteins to target the nucleus; later, during virus assembly, they will hijack cellular machineries that will help in the assembly of viruses). Less is understood on how viruses, in particular those with RNA genomes, coordinate the intracellular trafficking of both protein and RNA components and how they achieve assembly of infectious particles at specific loci in the cell. The study of RNA localization began in earlier work. Developing lower eukaryotic embryos and neuronal cells provided important biological information, and also underscored the importance of RNA localization in the programming of gene expression cascades. The study in other organisms and cell systems has yielded similar important information. Viruses are obligate parasites and must utilise their host cells to replicate. Thus, it is critical to understand how RNA viruses direct their RNA genomes from the nucleus, through the nuclear pore, through the cytoplasm and on to one of its final destinations, into progeny virus particles 1.
FISH serves as a useful tool to identify changes in steady-state localization of viral RNA. When combined with immunofluorescence (IF) analysis 22, FISH/IF co-analyses will provide information on the co-localization of proteins with the viral RNA3. This analysis therefore provides a good starting point to test for RNA-protein interactions by other biochemical or biophysical tests 4,5, since co-localization by itself is not enough evidence to be certain of an interaction. In studying viral RNA localization using a method like this, abundant information has been gained on both viral and cellular RNA trafficking events 6. For instance, HIV-1 produces RNA in the nucleus of infected cells but the RNA is only translated in the cytoplasm. When one key viral protein is missing (Rev) 7, FISH of the viral RNA has revealed that the block to viral replication is due to the retention of the HIV-1 genomic RNA in the nucleus 8. 
Here, we present the method for visual analysis of viral genomic RNA in situ. The method makes use of a labelled RNA probe. This probe is designed to be complementary to the viral genomic RNA. During the in vitro synthesis of the antisense RNA probe, the ribonucleotide that is modified with digoxigenin (DIG) is included in an in vitro transcription reaction. Once the probe has hybridized to the target mRNA in cells, subsequent antibody labelling steps (Figure 1) will reveal the localization of the mRNA as well as proteins of interest when performing FISH/IF.

Detection of Viral RNA by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization FISH

A fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method was developed to visually detect viral genomic RNA using fluorescence microscopy. A probe is made with specificity to the viral RNA that can then be identified using a combination of hybridization and immunofluorescence techniques. This technique offers the advantage of identifying the localization of the viral RNA or DNA at steady-state, providing information on the control of intracellular virus trafficking events.

Single-Cell Characterization of Calcium Influx and HIV-1 Infection using a Multiparameter Optofluidic Platform

HIV-1 causes a chronic infection that affects more than 37 million people worldwide. People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) experience comorbidity related to chronic inflammation despite antiretroviral therapy. However, these inflammatory signaling has not been fully characterized. The role of early entry events on the activation of cellular signaling events and downstream gene expression has not been captured at the single-cell level. Here the authors describe a method that applies principles of live-cell fluorescence microscopy to an automated single-cell platform that cultures and images cells over user-customized time courses, allowing for high-throughput analysis of dynamic cellular processes. This assay can track single-cell live fluorescence microscopy of early events that immediately follow HIV-1 infection, notably the influx of calcium that accompanies exposure to the virus and the development of productive infection using a fluorescent reporter virus. MT-4 cells are loaded with a calcium-sensitive dye and cultured in isolated pens on a nanofluidic device. The cultured cells are infected with an HIV-1 reporter virus (HIV-1 NLCI). A fluorescence microscope positioned above the nanofluidic device measures calcium influx over an 8-min time course following acute HIV-1 exposure. HIV-1 productive infection is measured in those same cells over a 4-day interval. Imaging data from these time courses are analyzed to define virus-host receptor interactions and signaling pathway dynamics. The authors present an integrated, scalable alternative to traditional imaging methods using a novel optofluidic platform capable of single-cell sorting, culturing, imaging, and software automation. This assay can measure the kinetics of events under various conditions, including cell type, agonist, or antagonist effect, while measuring an array of parameters. This is the first established method for nanofluidic high-throughput longitudinal single-cell culture and imaging: This technique can be broadly adapted to study cellular signaling kinetics and dynamic molecular interactions.

Here, we present a protocol in which single cells are monitored for acute events and productive HIV-1 infection on a nanofluidic device. Imaging data define virus-host receptor interactions and signaling pathway dynamics. This is the first method for nanofluidic high-throughput longitudinal single-cell culture and imaging to study signaling kinetics and molecular interactions.

Profiling of Surface Protein Epitopes on Viral Particles by Multiplex Dual-Reporter Strategy

Membrane proteins on enveloped viruses play an important role in many biological functions involving virus attachment to target cell receptors, fusion of viral particles to host cells, host-virus interactions, and disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, viral membrane proteins on virus particles and presented on host cell surfaces have proven to be excellent targets for antivirals and vaccines. Here, we describe a protocol to investigate surface proteins on intact severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) particles using the dual-reporter flow cytometric system. The assay exploits multiplex technology to obtain a triple detection of viral particles by three independent affinity reactions. Magnetic beads conjugated to recombinant human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) were used to capture viral particles from the supernatant of cells infected with SARS-CoV-2. Then, two detection reagents labeled with R-phycoerythrin (PE) or Brilliant Violet 421 (BV421) were applied simultaneously. As a proof-of-concept, antibody fragments targeting different epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2 surface protein Spike (S1) were used. The detection of viral particles by three independent affinity reactions provides strong specificity and confirms the capture of intact virus particles. Dose-dependency curves of SARS-CoV-2 infected cell supernatant were generated with replicate coefficient variances (mean/SD) &#706;14%. Good assay performance in both channels confirmed that two virus surface target protein epitopes are detectable in parallel. The protocol described here could be applied for (i) high-multiplex, high-throughput profiling of surface proteins expressed on enveloped viruses; ii) detection of active intact viral particles; and (iii) assessment of specificity and affinity of antibodies and antiviral drugs for surface epitopes of viral antigens.The application can be potentially extended to any type of extracellular vesicles and bioparticles, exposing surface antigens in body fluids or other liquid matrices.
