a Evaluation of the effects of ALCAM and DSG-2 knockout (mixed knockout population) on HAdV-C5/B7-GFP attachment and internalization. HAdV-C5/B7-GFP at an MOI of 20 is incubated with cells on ice for 1 h in the absence (attachment assay) or presence (internalization assay) of a follow-up incubation at 37 °C for 45 min. L3 genomic DNA of attached or internalized viruses is quantified by qPCR. Evaluation of the attachment and internalization of HAdV-C5/B7-GFP (b) and clinical HAdV-B7 (c) in non-targeting sgRNA mock cells and ALCAM-/- cells. d Co-IP analysis of cell lysates from HEK-293T cells co-transfected with ALCAM-myc and HAdV7-fiber-HA overexpression plasmids. e Co-IP analysis of the interaction between ALCAM-myc and different domains of fiber protein, including the full-length fiber-HA, shaft-HA, knob-HA, tail-shaft-HA, or shaft-knob-HA. f Co-IP analysis of the interaction between ALCAM-C-domain-myc or ALCAM-V-domain-myc and HAdV7-fiber-HA, shaft-HA, knob-HA, tail-shaft-HA or shaft-knob-HA. For (ef), immunoprecipitation is conducted using anti-myc beads. For (df), WCL, whole cell lysate. The experiment is repeated three times independently and similar results are obtained. For (ac), data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3) from three independent biological replicates. The significant difference between non-targeting and knockout groups is analyzed by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
