We want to rise the amount of transduced particels, instead of 500µl, 1000µl of the AAV-stock getting pipetted into each well. the second plate gets stimulated via UV-light to boost the expression of DNA-Repair mechanisms. This should enhance the second strand synthesis of our ssDNA-GOI => a rise of YFP Expression!

All cells died probably because we forgot to wash the cells with PBS before adding fresh medium. It was not possible to take pictures because the dead cells were all clumped.
Looks like we should not transduce 3x10^5 cells with 1000 µl (or more) of our viral solution because almost all cells died in all approaches and the medium indicator was yellow.

<b>The motivation</b>: In the past, the percentage of living cells in FACS was very low (~ 70%) so we want to check if the AAV-induced stress is responsible for cellular death, or the detaching procedure (trypsin and mechanical stress).<br />
+
<b>The motivation</b>
 +
After proofing the successfull transduction of tumor cells with the reportergen mVenus the next step is to kill the cells with a prodrug approach. The prodrug of our choice is the guanosine anolog ganciclovir, once activated ganciclovir gets integrated into the growing dna chain which results in termination of dna synthesis and cell death. We transduce the tumor cell line HT1080 with viral particles packed with the thymidine kinase guanosine mono phosphate kinase fusion protein (TKGMK) as gene of interest and the incubation with ganciclovir should kill the cells.<br />

As you can see, the TKGMK cell killing mechanism works! The samples with targeted mVenus constructs couldnt be checked because the FACS machine was not working. The fluorescence was checked with microscopy, the transduction efficiency is still low.

<b>Working steps</b>:

<ol>
 
-
<li>Remove the three plasmids to be co-transfected (the recombinant  pAAV expression plasmid or control plasmid, pAAV-RC, and pHelper)  from storage at –20°C.</li>
 
-
<li>Pipet <font size="4" color="#FF0000">XXX µg</font> of each of the three plasmid DNA solutions into an eppi. The standart protocol  is: 10 µg per plasmid, experiment data showed that the amounts (3,3 µg, 6,6 µg and 10 µg per plasmid) showed similar results</li>
 
-
<li>Fill up to 300 µl with sterile water. Add 300µl of 0.5 M CaCl2 and mix gently<font size="4" color="darkgreen">Incubation step 45 min on ice !!!!!!  </font></li>
 
-
<li>Pipet 600 µl ml of 2 × HBS  into a 15-ml falcon.</li>
 
-
<li>Vortex the falcon (with the 2x HBS) gently!!!! while pipetting the DNA/CaCl2 solution dropwise into the falcon (use the Pipetus).</li>
 
-
<li>Apply the DNA/CaCl<sub>2</sub>/HBS suspension to the plate of cells in a dropwise fashion<font size="4" color="#FF0000">(experimental data shows that resuspending-fashion is better for high titer)</font>, swirling gently to distribute the DNA suspension evenly in the medium.</li>
 
-
<li>Return the tissue culture plate to the 37°C room for 6 hours.</li>
 
-
<li>At the end of the incubation period, remove the medium from the plate and wash cells with warm PBS, replace it with 10 ml of fresh DMEM growth medium.<font size="4" color="#FF0000">This is a crucial step! The transfection-stress kills nearly all cells if theres no medium change</font></li>

<b>The results</b><br />
 +
The FACS was still not available but we could easily detect a significant higher YFP expression (70-80%) at the following positions:
 +
* Plate 1: A2 and B2, A3 and B3
 +
* Plate 2: A2 and B2, A3 and B3
 +
Therefore we conclude that we have to seed between 100000 and 500000 cells for optimal virus production precedure.

As you can see the eGFP constructs worked very well. And even the transduction efficiency of the standard R/C is ok, the conclusion is that in previous transfections the AAV293 cells were to confluent so their transfection capability. The confluence of the cells is crucial! It also seems that our used amounts of plasmids had no decisive effect on the YFP expression because of the obviously variating results. A final conclusion is still due.

Data were not reliable (The amount of Goi (3,3 µg instead of 10µg) was not sufficient enough)so the average YFP expression is quite low, but the remarkable note is: Beas construct (<font size="4" color="#FF0000">pSB1C3_leftITR_CMV_betaglobin_mVenus_hGH_rightITR</font>) fusioned from the created Biobricks still works!
+
There is only one value for each approach but nevertheless the average YFP expression should be higher.
 +
We really dont know the reason for the quite low YFP expression. There are also very good news: the reassembled construct (pSB1C3_leftITR_CMV_betaglobin_mVenus_hGH_rightITR) created from the single Biobricks works as "well" as the AAV2 with CMV_mVenus!

Standard deviation: about +/- 4,98% YFP expression. All future AAV2 stocks will be pooled if produced with this same plasmids and amounts of plasmids. Unfortunately the YFP expression is still located at around 50%. We would like to have a YFP expression of at least 70% because as soon as we start to test our not yet ready modified AAV2 we suggest the YFP expression will obviously decrease.

 +
<br />
 +
<b>The motivation</b><br />
 +
During the project 22 silent nucleotide exchange mutations were introduced into the capsid coding construct to make it compatible with the RFC standards and to have single cutting restriction enzymes flanking the 453 and the 587 loop sequence. Two point mutations had to be dismissed, because either a first test transduction showed that the construct was not working anymore or the insertion of the synthesized gene posed serious problems, because the restriction enzyme did not work.
 +
<br />
 +
<b>The plan</b><br />
 +
Transfection and transduction was performed according to standard protocol.

 +
<br /><br />
 +
Finally, we have a construct that is shown to produce infectious particles comparable to the current AAV systems and carries 20 point mutations. Now we can announce that the Adeno-associated Virus is compatible to the RFC standard and the idea to replace the loop sequences via ViralBricks works!

 +
<br />
 +
<b>The motivation</b><br />
 +
We want to check if the CMV and pTERT promoters work equaly in the AAV293, A431 and HT1080 cells. So we transfect them via standard transfection CaCl<sub>2</sub>. It is obvious that the individual cell lines are not equaliy competent to transfection (the AAV293 are optimised for transfection). It seems that this promoter is not that active in AAV293 cells.
 +
<br />
 +
<b>The plan</b><br />
 +
We transfected the three cell lines A431, AAV293 and HT1080 with following three constructs:
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>CMV_mVenus</li>
 +
<li>CMV_eGFP</li>
 +
<li>pTERT_mVenus</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
<br />
 +
Remember, that mVenus and eGFP have the exact same excitation wavelenght. We took the pictures with the same parameters, but saved the data in the wrong formate (.tif instead of .zvi), <b>so we werent able to change the YFP expression from green to yellow</b>.

<b>The results</b><br />
 +
As excepted, the expression of the CMV_mVenus and CMV_eGFP was very high even at 16h post transfection. The pTERT_mVenus construct worked aswell, but significantly weaker!
 +
Problematic is the fact, that there was no expression in HT1080 and A431 detectable. Due the fact that these cell lines are not optimized for CaCl<sub>2</sub> transfection. We can't evaluate if the bad transfection efficiency or the low promoter activity of pTERT are responsible for the results.

<b>The results</b>
+
<b>The motivation</b>: We want to figure out if it is possible to purify our viral stocks via centrifugation with 10.000 g and/or 20.000 g. In theory/ according to the literature the viral particles should be in the cells and attached to the HSPGs at the cellular surfaces.
<br />
<br />
 +
<b>The plan</b>: Two different viral stocks were prepared:
 +
<br /><br />
 +
Stock 1 with VP2-mVenus-fusion-Capsid loaded with TKGMK (4 wells from a 6 well plate)<br />
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>R/C 1: 50% pCerulean_VP1up_NLS_mVenus_Vp2/3 P501</li>
 +
<li>R/C 2: 50% Rep/Cap2: P449 pAAV_RC_4fachmut_VP1-ko:</li>
 +
<li>GOI: TKGMK: P82.b</li>
 +
<li>pHelper</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
<br />
 +
Stock 2 "standard" virus (4 wells from a 6 well plate)<br />
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>R/C 1 P486</li>
 +
<li>GOI: TKGMK: P82.b</li>
 +
<li>pHelper</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
These two stocks got harvested according to standard protocol (scratching cells, transfer them in to 15 ml falcons, resuling 12ml solution total). After centrifugation (10 min 200g), the supernatant got transferred into two new 15 ml falcons and the pellets were resuspended with 10 ml DMEM Medium. The Stocks got freezed thawed two times so finally there were:
 +
<ol>
 +
<li>DMEM as negative control</li>
 +
<li>resuspended Pellet with mVenus-fusioned viral capsids</li>
 +
<li>resuspended Pellet with "standard virus"</li>
 +
<li>supernatant with mVenus-fusioned viral capsids</li>
 +
<li>supernatant with "standard virus"</li>
 +
</ol>
 +
<br />
 +
The fluorescence of each stock was measured via spectrometer. After that, stocks 2 and 4 were centrifugated 10min with 10.000 g followed by an other fluorescence measuring. Finally the stocks got spin down with 20.000 g for 10 min

 +
<br /><b>The conclusions</b>:
 +
The highest amount of fluorescence was measured in the supernatant, the individual centrifugation steps had <b>no decrease in fluorescence</b> as consequence!
-
<b>The plan</b>
+
<br />
 +
Keep in mind, without further investigation it is not valid to say that we can purify our stocks via 10-20.000 g centrifugation steps, because we dont know if the viral capsids are still intact! The FACS analysis are not sufficient enough to make a decision, because our last samples had YFP as GOI (=> so efficient cell sorting was not possible). We need to do qPCRs to make a valid evidence.

<b>The motivation</b><br />
 +
The AAV2 with 4 point mutations, inserted rep and cap and remutated KpnI restriction has to be checked for its functionality in order to compare it with the wild type AAV2. Hopefully there will be no significant difference.<br />

The primary AAV2 receptor (the HSPG receptor) was knocked out so we expect a worse tranduction rate (about 0,3 to 0,4 of the standard transduction rate, assuming that there are HSPGs on the HT1080 and A431 cell surface). The worse the better.

There is a significant difference in transduction efficiency. The actual reduction is even higher than expected, according to literature it should be around 60%, we reached 80%. We measured via qPCR the amount of viral particles for each stock, and they are nearly the same the HSPG Knockout has 2*10<sup>7</sup>particles per ml , the stock with HSPG-binding motif has 4.5*10<sup>6</sup> particles per ml.

<br />
 +
<b>The motivation</b><br />
 +
<br />
 +
The activated form of 5-fluorocytosine has the ability to diffuse through the plasma membrane. In this way cells get killed which were not transduced by the viral particles. We use an old yfp stock t determine if the transgene expression is on and to harvest the cells which are transduced with cytosine deaminase loaded AAV2.<br />

Interpretation and discussion of our results.



14.6 Seeding AAV293 for transfection


The motivation
We want to create viral stocks with the stratagene R/C, the gene of interest is mVenus. This is a qualitative control.

The plan

Days 14.6 15.6 16.6 17.6 18.6 19.6 20.6 21.6
Action seeding AAV293 - Transfection - Seeding HT Harvest + Transduction Fluorescence microscopy

AAV 293 and HT1080 Cells have been splitted and plated out on 10 cm dishes for transfektion. After harvesting the cells according to the standard protocol the cell-pellets were resuspendiated in 15ml of DYT medium. 2,5µl of this cell suspension have been mixed with 47.5µl of trypan blue and the cells were counted by using the Neubauer-Meteringchamber.

We counted 12,5x 10^6 cells/ml for the AAV293 cell line and 10x10^6 cells /ml for the HT1080 cell line.

1ml and 1,5 ml of the AAV 293 cells have been seeded on four dishes with 250µl of the cell suspension. Note that that the date is wrong on the plates and the flasks! Cells have been already plated out on the 14th. of June.

We also seated two flasks one for each cell line. Therefor we used 1ml of the HT1080 cell suspension and 2ml of the the AAV293 cells.
1)

  • pAAV_iGEM_mVenus_YFP (glycerol stock B34, P39) P39 has the correct sequence (confirmed)
  • pHelper
  • pAAV_RC

2)

  • pAAV_iGEM_mVenus_YFP (glycerol stock B33, P38) P38 (we dont know if P39 has the correct sequence!)was used because the amount of P39 was not sufficient enough for four Transfections!
  • pHelper
  • pAAV_RC

Plasmid concentrations:
pAAV_RC: 1 µg/µl
pHelper: 280 ng/µl
pAAV_iGEM_mVenus_YFP, P39: 180,83 ng/µl
pAAV_iGEM_mVenus_YFP, P38: 179,75 ng/µl

Cellculture clone 1 and 2 were transfected with P39. Cellculture clone 3 and 4 were transfected with P38.


We could only pipet 3,3 µg (instead of 10 µg) from each of the 3 plasmids into the 15 ml falcons due to insufficient amount of plasmid.

Adrian tried to examine the precipation of the CaCl2+ DNA Clusters. We have to optimize the pH of our 2xHBS at the moment it is 11.12.
The viral stocks were harvested according to standard protocol.
The results


According to the stratagene protocol, transduction efficencies about ~80% are achievable. We performed every step under guidance, so probably something is wrong with the buffers, cells or even the standard protocol. The next step is to repeat this transfection.

19.6 Seeding AAV293 for second transfection according to standard protocol


The motivation
We want to repeat the last transfection and obtain a vsibly higher GOI (mVenus) expression.
The plan

Days 19.6 20.6 20.6 21.6 22.6 23.6 24.6 25.6
Action seeding AAV293 - Transfection - Seeding HT Harvest + Transduction Fluorescence microscopy

Six transfections were performed according to the standart protocol:
Three 10 cm cellcluture dishes with 293 cells were transfected with 10 µg DNA (3,33 µg each plasmid) and the other three 10 cm cellculture dishes with 30 µg DNA (10 µg DNA each plasmid).

Plasmids:

  • pAAV_iGEM-MCS_mVenus (P41), 507 ng/µl
  • pAAV_RC , 1000 ng/µl
  • pHelper , 280 ng/µl


  • Transduction of 2x6 wells was successfully done (14.25)
  • one six well was transduced with 10µg the other with 30µg DNA amount

The results


The Transduction efficency is still quite low! We have to optimize the stratagene protocol!

30.6 Examination of different Transduction methods


The motivation
We want to check whether the amount of our produced AAV2s has an effect on the transduction rate. Instead of 500µl, 1000µl of the AAV-stock were pipetted into each well.

The plan

1000 µl of Viral Stock DROPPED 1000 µl of Viral Stock gently resuspended no Transduction


The results
All cells died probably because we forgot to wash the cells with PBS before adding fresh medium. It was not possible to take pictures because the dead cells were all clumped. Looks like we should not transduce 3x10^5 cells with 1000 µl (or more) of our viral solution because almost all cells died in all approaches and the medium indicator was yellow. So we can not say if resuspendig the cells with the viral soultion is a useful alteration of the standard protocol.


3.7 Seeding AAV293 for transfection with different plasmid amounts and harvesting methods


The motivation
We want to check if the amount of plasmids is the reason for the low transduction efficiency. Unfortunately the flow cytometry (FACS) is not available at the moment so the results can only be checked via fuorescence microscopy.

The plan

Days 3.7 4.7 5.7 6.7 7.7 8.7 9.7 10.7
Action seeding AAV293 - Transfection - Seeding HT Harvest + Transduction Fluorescence microscopy

Transfection with P41 (pAAV_iGEM-MCS_mVenus) was performed according standart protocol. Two transfections where carried out with 10µg (3,33 µg each plasmid) DNA and the other two with 20µg DNA (6,66 µg each plasmid).
We want to investigate which of the following approaches yields a better transduction efficiency.

  • Half of the transfected cells were exposed 3 cycles of thawing and freezing and then centrifuged (15 ml falcon, 2100G). The supernatant was transfered into a new 15 ml falcon and used for transduction.
  • The other half was centrifuged at 300 G for 5min . The supernatant was transfered into another 15 ml falcon and the pellet was resuspended with 5 ml of DMEM. The content of these two falcons was also exposed to 3 cycles of thawing and freezing and then used for transduction.
  • We have got 2 10 cm cellculture dishes with 10µg and 2 dishes with 20µg DNA used for transfection.

Approach with standart protocol (one dish with 10 and the other with 20µg Plasmids)(2100 G and 3 cycles of freezing and thawing)

Deviations from the standart protocol:

  • The cells were centrifuged at 2100 G instead of 10.000 G
  • The viruses were harvested after 44 hours
  • 3 cycles of freezing and thawing


  • used plasmids: 10µg, 20µg GOI-plasmid (mVenus)
  • we have 10µg and 20µg from standart protocol => standard virus
  • we have 10µg and 20µg from standart protocol pellet => Pellet
  • we have 10µg and 20µg from standart protocol suspension => Super
  • amount of 500µl

The results


We only took some pictures from single cells, because there was no significant difference in fluorescence between each sample. The main conclusion of this experiment is, that we have to get the flow cytometry started.

4.7 Transfection with different amounts of plasmids


The motivation
We want to check if the mVenus expression and transduction efficiency can be improved with higher amounts of DNA.

The plan

Days 4.7 5.7 6.7 7.7 8.7 9.7 10.7 11.7
Action seeding AAV293 - Transfection - Seeding HT Harvest + Transduction FACS

The Transfection was performed with 10, 18 and 24 µg per plasmid (mVenus, pHelper and R/C).
The virus harvest was performed according to standard protocol:

  • 3 Plates got transduced

Conclusions

  • Higher amounts of Plasmids (24, 30µg) seems to have no obvious effect on YFP expression
  • Theres no difference in YFP expression comparing resuspended samples to not resuspended samples
  • The amount of dead HT cells is about 25%, it is not clear if it is either AAV induced or mechanic stress (Trypsin, washing procedure)

Next steps:

  • does the amount of GOI (ng plasmids) has an effect on YFP expression
  • compare transduced to non transduced cells (vitality), or in other words is the mechanic stress responsible for 25% dead cell ratio?
  • comparison of transduction efficiency of different virus stock production routines

The results
Unfortunately the stocks never were used (exception: see following experiment, 7. august) because later on we noticed that the TKGMK plasmids were not in line with the RFC.



7.8 Seeding AAV293 for TKGMK and mVenus stocks

The motivation After proofing the successfull transduction of tumor cells with the reportergen mVenus the next step is to kill the cells with a prodrug approach. The prodrug of our choice is the guanosine anolog ganciclovir, once activated ganciclovir gets integrated into the growing dna chain which results in termination of dna synthesis and cell death. We transduce the tumor cell line HT1080 with viral particles packed with the thymidine kinase guanosine mono phosphate kinase fusion protein (TKGMK) as gene of interest and the incubation with ganciclovir should kill the cells.

The results

As you can see, the TKGMK cell killing mechanism works! The samples with targeted mVenus constructs couldnt be checked because the FACS machine was not working. The fluorescence was checked with microscopy, the transduction efficiency is still low.

  • Plate 1: A2 and B2, A3 and B3
  • Plate 2: A2 and B2, A3 and B3

Therefore we conclude that we have to seed between 100000 and 500000 cells for optimal virus production precedure.

    As you can see the eGFP constructs worked very well. And even the transduction efficiency of the standard R/C is ok, the conclusion is that in previous transfections the AAV293 cells were to confluent so their transfection capability. The confluence of the cells is crucial! It also seems that our used amounts of plasmids had no decisive effect on the YFP expression because of the obviously variating results. A final conclusion is still due.

    There is only one value for each approach but nevertheless the average YFP expression should be higher. We really dont know the reason for the quite low YFP expression. There are also very good news: the reassembled construct (pSB1C3_leftITR_CMV_betaglobin_mVenus_hGH_rightITR) created from the single Biobricks works as "well" as the AAV2 with CMV_mVenus!

    Standard deviation: about +/- 4,98% YFP expression. All future AAV2 stocks will be pooled if produced with this same plasmids and amounts of plasmids. Unfortunately the YFP expression is still located at around 50%. We would like to have a YFP expression of at least 70% because as soon as we start to test our not yet ready modified AAV2 we suggest the YFP expression will obviously decrease.

    As expected the highest concentration of ganciclovir worked the best but it is remarkable that there is no significant difference between the first three ganciclovir amounts. The most remarkable note is, that in future experiments the incubation time has to be extended to 3 or 4 days.

    • pCerulean_VP1up_His_VP2/3
    • pCerulean_VP1up_mVenus_Vp2/3

    The His-tag is for purify our constructs and in this case we want to test, if the particles are still infectious. Construct with the affibody will be tested for functionality and even for their better affinity to our EGFR overexpressing cell line A431.


    The results
    Interpretation and discussion of our results.

    19.9 Seeding AAV293 for checking two different Rep/Cap Constructs


    The motivation
    During the project 22 silent nucleotide exchange mutations were introduced into the capsid coding construct to make it compatible with the RFC standards and to have single cutting restriction enzymes flanking the 453 and the 587 loop sequence. Two point mutations had to be dismissed, because either a first test transduction showed that the construct was not working anymore or the insertion of the synthesized gene posed serious problems, because the restriction enzyme did not work.
    The plan
    Transfection and transduction was performed according to standard protocol.


    The results
    Freiburg10 CC 19.9 FACS Checking functionality of REP CAP.jpg

    Finally, we have a construct that is shown to produce infectious particles comparable to the current AAV systems and carries 20 point mutations. Now we can announce that the Adeno-associated Virus is compatible to the RFC standard and the idea to replace the loop sequences via ViralBricks works!



    22.9 Seeding AAV293 for transfection with different mVenus constructs for checking specific promoter activity


    The motivation
    We want to check if the CMV and pTERT promoters work equaly in the AAV293, A431 and HT1080 cells. So we transfect them via standard transfection CaCl2. It is obvious that the individual cell lines are not equaliy competent to transfection (the AAV293 are optimised for transfection). It seems that this promoter is not that active in AAV293 cells.
    The plan
    We transfected the three cell lines A431, AAV293 and HT1080 with following three constructs:

    • CMV_mVenus
    • CMV_eGFP
    • pTERT_mVenus


    Remember, that mVenus and eGFP have the exact same excitation wavelenght. We took the pictures with the same parameters, but saved the data in the wrong formate (.tif instead of .zvi), so we werent able to change the YFP expression from green to yellow.


    Days 22.9 23.9 24.10 25.10 26.10

    The results
    As excepted, the expression of the CMV_mVenus and CMV_eGFP was very high even at 16h post transfection. The pTERT_mVenus construct worked aswell, but significantly weaker! Problematic is the fact, that there was no expression in HT1080 and A431 detectable. Due the fact that these cell lines are not optimized for CaCl2 transfection. We can't evaluate if the bad transfection efficiency or the low promoter activity of pTERT are responsible for the results.

    22.9 Testing of Hannas 6 VP-constructs with different compositions (10%, 25%, 50% and 75% fractions) with a VP2-knockout construct


    The motivation
    Test the following 18 constructs for functionality on A431 and HT1080 cells. Each of these constructs getting transfected in different compositions 25%, 50%, 75% and 90% with VP2_knockout 75%. In this way we are able to create viral particles with this ratios of VP proteins. We hope that the created particles are still infectious.

    29.9 Checking location of VP proteins via fluorescence microscopy and checking fractions of centrifugation steps via fluorescence spectrometer


    The motivation: We want to figure out if it is possible to purify our viral stocks via centrifugation with 10.000 g and/or 20.000 g. In theory/ according to the literature the viral particles should be in the cells and attached to the HSPGs at the cellular surfaces.
    The plan: Two different viral stocks were prepared:

    Stock 1 with VP2-mVenus-fusion-Capsid loaded with TKGMK (4 wells from a 6 well plate)

    • R/C 1: 50% pCerulean_VP1up_NLS_mVenus_Vp2/3 P501
    • R/C 2: 50% Rep/Cap2: P449 pAAV_RC_4fachmut_VP1-ko:
    • GOI: TKGMK: P82.b
    • pHelper


    Stock 2 "standard" virus (4 wells from a 6 well plate)

    • R/C 1 P486
    • GOI: TKGMK: P82.b
    • pHelper

    These two stocks got harvested according to standard protocol (scratching cells, transfer them in to 15 ml falcons, resuling 12ml solution total). After centrifugation (10 min 200g), the supernatant got transferred into two new 15 ml falcons and the pellets were resuspended with 10 ml DMEM Medium. The Stocks got freezed thawed two times so finally there were:

    1. DMEM as negative control
    2. resuspended Pellet with mVenus-fusioned viral capsids
    3. resuspended Pellet with "standard virus"
    4. supernatant with mVenus-fusioned viral capsids
    5. supernatant with "standard virus"


    The fluorescence of each stock was measured via spectrometer. After that, stocks 2 and 4 were centrifugated 10min with 10.000 g followed by an other fluorescence measuring. Finally the stocks got spin down with 20.000 g for 10 min
    The results:



    Freiburg10 mVenus VP fusion fluorescence centrifugation experiment graph.jpg


    Freiburg10 mVenus VP fusion fluorescence centrifugation experiment 526nm.jpg


    The conclusions: The highest amount of fluorescence was measured in the supernatant, the individual centrifugation steps had no decrease in fluorescence as consequence!


    Keep in mind, without further investigation it is not valid to say that we can purify our stocks via 10-20.000 g centrifugation steps, because we dont know if the viral capsids are still intact! The FACS analysis are not sufficient enough to make a decision, because our last samples had YFP as GOI (=> so efficient cell sorting was not possible). We need to do qPCRs to make a valid evidence.

    30.9 Production of new Standard mVenus Vector


    The motivation
    The AAV2 with 4 point mutations, inserted rep and cap and remutated KpnI restriction has to be checked for its functionality in order to compare it with the wild type AAV2. Hopefully there will be no significant difference.
    The plan
    After the "delay" 200.000 A431 and HT1080 cells were seeded and transduced on the following day with 0,5 ml of this AAV2 mutant.

    30.9 Seeding AAV293 for production of vectors with mVenus missing beta globin


    The motivation
    Beta globin is said to improve (stratagene) the expression so we expect a worse mVenus (reportergene) expression compared to the standard AAVs. Therefore the seeded A431 and HT1080 cells were transduced with a AAV2 mutant missing beta-globin.

    30.9 Seeding AAV293 for production of vectors with mVenus missing HGH


    The motivation
    HGH is responsible for the mRNA polyadenylation of the virus so we expect expect a worse mVenus (reportergene) expression compared to the standard AAVs. Therefore the seeded A431 and HT1080 cells were transduced with a AAV2 mutant missing HGH.
    The plan
    After the "delay" 200.000 A431 and HT1080 cells were seeded and transduced on the following day with 0,5 ml AAV2 mutant missing HGH.

    30.9 Seeding AAV293 for testing RC with HSPG knockout for functionality


    The motivation
    The primary AAV2 receptor (the HSPG receptor) was knocked out so we expect a worse tranduction rate (about 0,3 to 0,4 of the standard transduction rate, assuming that there are HSPGs on the HT1080 and A431 cell surface). The worse the better.
    The plan
    After the "delay" 200.000 A431 and HT1080 cells were seeded and transduced on the following day with 0,5 ml AAV2 mutant with a HSPG-receptor knockout.

    There is a significant difference in transduction efficiency. The actual reduction is even higher than expected, according to literature it should be around 60%, we reached 80%. We measured via qPCR the amount of viral particles for each stock, and they are nearly the same the HSPG Knockout has 2*107particles per ml , the stock with HSPG-binding motif has 4.5*106 particles per ml.
