Advanced Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy to Probe the Molecular Dynamics of Viral Entry, Science Lab

Viral entry into the host cell requires the coordination of many cellular and viral proteins in a precise order. Modern microscopy techniques are now allowing researchers to investigate these interactions with higher spatiotemporal resolution than ever before. Here we present two examples from the field of HIV research that make use of an innovative quantitative imaging approach as well as cutting edge fluorescence lifetime-based confocal microscopy methods to gain novel insights into how HIV fuses to cell membranes and enters the cell.
