abstract

  • An in situ labelling strategy was proposed to produce quantum dot-labelled respiratory syncytial viruses (RSVs) by incorporating the biotinylated membrane protein of the host cells into mature virions, followed by conjugation with streptavidin modified quantum dots (SA-QDs), which has the advantages such as convenience, efficiency and minor influence on viral infectivity and thus could be successfully applied to track the early stage of virus entry.
