Abstract |
In the last years, atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based approaches have evolved into a powerful multiparametric tool that allows biological samples ranging from single receptors to membranes and tissues to be probed. Force-distance curve-based AFM (FD-based AFM) nowadays enables to image living cells at high resolution and simultaneously localize and characterize specific ligand-receptor binding events. In this chapter, we present how FD-based AFM permits to investigate virus binding to living mammalian cells and quantify the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters that describe the free-energy landscape of the single virus-receptor-mediated binding. Using a model virus, we probed the specific interaction with cells expressing its cognate receptor and measured the affinity of the interaction. Furthermore, we observed that the virus rapidly established specific multivalent interactions and found that each bond formed in sequence strengthens the attachment of the virus to the cell. |
