This video describes the surface plasmon resonance, or SPR, technique for studying the interaction between two molecules using a sensor chip. The change in resonance angle and the intensity of the reflected light are detected as a function of the association and dissociation of two molecules, and this provides information about the interactions between the two molecules.
For the present study, a CVN-small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) fusion protein has been used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays instead of CV-N and is suitable for cell-based assays. Recombinant full-length influenza A virus HA H3 protein is obtained commercially (see Table of Materials) or expressed in mammalian HEK293 cell lines and baculovirus-infected insect cells according to standard protocols. Wuhan-1 spike protein is expressed in mammalian HEK293 cells. The synthesis of mon-mannosylated peptide (MM) and di-mannosylated peptide (DM) allows the detection of homogeneous ligands to CVN2 and mono-mannosylated small molecules.
