植物病毒粒子(VNPs),是有前途的平台,在生物医学中的应用。在这里,我们将介绍程序植物VNP传播,净化,表征和生物标记。最后,我们的应用VNPs肿瘤归巢和成像用小鼠移植瘤模型和荧光成像。
纳米材料的使用有可能彻底改变材料科学和医学。目前,正在调查一些不同的纳米粒子成像和治疗中的应用。来自植物的病毒粒子(VNPs)可以被视为与定义的尺寸和形状的自组装bionanomaterials。植物病毒正在调查在斯坦梅茨实验室包括二十面体由豇豆花叶病毒 (CPMV), 雀麦花叶病毒 (BMV),这两者都是在直径为30nm的颗粒。我们也正在开发棒状,丝状的结构衍生从下列植物病毒: 烟草花叶病毒 (TMV),其形成为300nm的尺寸为18nm,和马铃薯X病毒 (PVX),形成丝状颗粒515与刚性杆在长度和宽度为13 nm的纳米(读取器被称为文献。VNPs进一步信息的1和2)。
<p class="jove_content">出发的材料科学家的角度来看,VNPs是有吸引力的积木有以下几个原因:颗粒是单分散的,可在植物易于大规模生产,异常稳定的,和生物相容性。此外,VNPs“可编程”的单位,可专门设计使用遗传修饰或化学生物耦合方法3。原子分辨率的结构VNPs是众所周知的,并且可以进行修改与空间精度在原子水平上4,一定程度的控制不能使用合成纳米材料与当前国家的最先进的技术来实现的。在本文中,我们描述了CPMV,PVX,TMV,和BMV, 豇豆ungiuculata和烟草植物的繁殖。 VNP对每个提取和纯化协议。纯化和化学标记VNPs表征方法描述。在这项研究中,我们专注于通道emical标签VNPs与荧光团( 如的Alexa Fluor 647)和聚乙二醇(PEG)。该染料促进VNPs 5-10的跟踪和检测,和PEG降低免疫原性的蛋白质纳米粒子,同时增强其药动学8,11。我们展示的聚乙二醇化VNPs使用小鼠移植瘤模型的肿瘤归巢。组织体外荧光成像技术的使用Maestro成像系统,荧光定量同质化组织,和共聚焦显微镜的组合被用于研究生物分布。 VNPs通过网状内皮系统(RES)被清零;肿瘤归巢实现被动地通过增强的渗透性和保持率(EPR)效果12。 “的VNP纳米技术是强大的插件和播放技术,图像和治疗的疾病在体内网站。我们进一步发展VNPs携带药物的货物和临床相关的摄像部分,以及组织特异性的配体目标分子的受体过度表达,在癌症和心血管疾病。
该协议提供了一种方法VNPs和他们的应用程序在体内肿瘤成像的化学改性。动物荧光成像,荧光定量和免疫组化技术可用于研究生物分布和评估肿瘤归巢。这些技术提供了有价值的信息,通过EPR效应的纳米粒子对肿瘤。从不同的分析方法相结合的结果,我们得到了一个强大的方法,评估的定位和生物分布的VNPs。
之前可以进行这些研究,但是,它是必不可少的,以获得纯…
