چکیده

A TAT peptide-delivered molecular beacon was developed and utilized to enumerate murine norovirus 1, a human norovirus (NoV) surrogate, in RAW 264.7 cells. This allowed the detection of a single infective virus within 6 h, a 12-fold improvement in time required for viral detection and quantification compared to that required by the conventional plaque assay.

Use of flow cytometry for rapid, quantitative detection of poliovirus-infected cells via TAT peptide-delivered molecular beacons.

Rapid and efficient detection of viral infection is crucial for the prevention of disease spread during an outbreak and for timely clinical management. In this paper, the utility of Tat peptide-modified molecular beacons (MBs) as a rapid diagnostic tool for the detection of virus-infected cells was demonstrated. The rapid intracellular delivery mediated by the Tat peptide enabled the detection ...

Visualizing the dynamics of viral replication in living cells via Tat peptide delivery of nuclease-resistant molecular beacons.

In this study, we describe the use of nuclease-resistant molecular beacons (MBs) for the real-time detection of coxsackievirus B6 replication in living Buffalo green monkey kidney (BGMK) cells via Tat peptide delivery. A nuclease-resistant MB containing 2'-O-methyl RNA bases with phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages was designed to specifically target an 18-bp 5' noncoding region of the vi...

Examination of MHC-1 Expression by J774 Macrophage Cells Treated with Recombinant Protein HIV-1 Tat 49-59 / HPV16, 18, 6, 11 E7 In Vitro

Background and purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the infectious agents that causes genital and non-genital warts and skin cancers in humans. The E7 protein of this virus is one of the small oncoproteins that may be the main target in therapeutic vaccines. E7 protein with HIV-1 Tat peptide (49-59), plays a protective role that cause immune Th1 and CTLs response. The aim of this study...

Halo-tag mediated self-labeling of fluorescent proteins to molecular beacons for nucleic acid detection.

We report here the generation of a fluorescent protein (FP)-based dual molecular beacon (MB) system for nucleic acid detection. Halo-tag mediated conjugation was used for the site-specific decoration of MBs with two different FP fusions, thereby enabling easy detection of target sequences by fluorescence resonance energy transfer or FRET. Enhanced intracellular delivery was demonstrated by simp...
