Biotinylated Lectin Blotting Analysis of Dengue-2 Virus Glycoproteins

In this study we developed a method for characterization of the leetin binding properties of D2V by a panal of lectins with different sugar specificity. The dengue-2 virus(D2V) (New Guinea C strain) was cultured in Aedes alhopietus C6/36 cells. The virus-speeific and cellular proteins of the infected and mock-infected cell lysates were separated by diseontinous SDS-PAGE and transferred electrophoretically onto NC sheet. The blots were then probed with 12 kinds of biotinylated leetius(Con A, PSA, LCA, SBA, D...
