Background
Fibronectin-CH296 is a recombinant human fibronectin fragment developed in 1995. The protein comprises 574 amino acids with a molecular weight of 58–63 kDa, produced in E. coli expression systems. CH296 contains three critical functional domains derived from the parent fibronectin molecule:
1. Central Cell-Binding Domain (type III repeats 8-10): Contains the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence that binds integrin VLA-5 (α5β1) on target cells.
2. Heparin-Binding Domain II (type III repeats 12-14): Mediates binding to viral particles via heparan sulfate moieties on retroviral/lentiviral envelopes.
3. CS-1 Site (alternatively-spliced IIICS region): Binds integrin VLA-4 (α4β1) expressed on hematopoietic cells, T cells, and monocytes. This domain organization enables co-localization of viral particles and target cells on the CH296-coated surface, dramatically enhancing transduction efficiency by increasing effective viral concentration at the cell membrane.
