  • Measuring the mean number of aggregates for specific viral glycoproteins.
  • Comparing SFCS findings with established fluorescence photobleaching recovery data.

    • Main Results:

    • SFCS measurements for Sindbis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus glycoproteins align with prior studies.
    • Sindbis virus glycoproteins were found to be more highly aggregated.
    • Vesicular stomatitis virus glycoproteins exhibited further aggregation upon antibody cross-linking, unlike Sindbis virus glycoproteins.

    Conclusions:

    • Scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy is a viable method for assessing cell membrane protein aggregation.
    • Significant differences in aggregation states exist between Sindbis and vesicular stomatitis virus glycoproteins.
    • SFCS holds promise for future investigations into membrane protein aggregation in cultured cells.
