How can you use “strept” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We have devised a method of immobilizing adenoviral vectors, tightly and stably, on solid surfaces using the (strept)avidin-biotin interaction, while maintaining their ability to infect cells.
We previously showed that biotin moieties can be attached covalently to the outer surface of adenoviral vectors without appreciable effect on their infectivity under carefully controlled biotinylation conditions [ 10 11 ] . Such biotinylated viral particles could be attached, specifically and stably, to a solid surface on which (strept)avidin is covalently immobilized (avidin- or streptavidin-coated solid surface).
The extremely tight interaction between the protein (strept)avidin and its ligand biotin ( K d ~ 10 -14M) [ 5 6 7 8 9 ] was chosen as a means of tethering viral particles to the solid surface.
These results suggest that, upon biotinylation of the viral surface under controlled conditions, adenoviral vectors can be immobilized on a solid surface by using the (strept)avidin-biotin interaction, and that such immobilized adenoviral vectors are capable of infecting cells, in situ , on the solid surface.
There are several possible ways of immobilizing viral vectors at predetermined locations on the solid surface by using the (strept)avidin-biotin interaction.
