Virus-like Particles: Measures and Biological FunctionsViruses - Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 383
Tara Bhat, Amy Cao, John Yin
Virus-like particles resemble infectious virus particles in size, shape, and molecular composition; however, they fail to productively infect host cells. Historically, the presence of virus-like particles has been inferred from total particle counts by microscopy, and infectious particle counts or plaque-forming-units (PFUs) by plaque assay; the resulting ratio of particles-to-PFUs is ofte...... hiện toàn bộ
Human Coronaviruses and Other Respiratory Viruses: Underestimated Opportunistic Pathogens of the Central Nervous System?Viruses - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 14

Respiratory viruses infect the human upper respiratory tract, mostly causing mild diseases. However, in vulnerable populations, such as newborns, infants, the elderly and immune-compromised individuals, these opportunistic pathogens can also affect the lower respiratory tract, causing a more severe disease (e.g., pneumonia). Respiratory viruses can also exacerbate asthma and lead to variou...... hiện toàn bộ
Viruses and Autoimmunity: A Review on the Potential Interaction and Molecular MechanismsViruses - Tập 11 Số 8 - Trang 762

For a long time, viruses have been shown to modify the clinical picture of several autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes (T1D), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK), celiac disease (CD), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Best examples of viral infections that have been proposed to modulate the induction...... hiện toàn bộ
Preventive Activity against Influenza (H1N1) Virus by Intranasally Delivered RNA-Hydrolyzing Antibody in Respiratory Epithelial Cells of MiceViruses - Tập 7 Số 9 - Trang 5133-5144

The antiviral effect of a catalytic RNA-hydrolyzing antibody, 3D8 scFv, for intranasal administration against avian influenza virus (H1N1) was described. The recombinant 3D8 scFv protein prevented BALB/c mice against H1N1 influenza virus infection by degradation of the viral RNA genome through its intrinsic RNA-hydrolyzing activity. Intranasal administration of 3D8 scFv (50 μg/day) for fiv...... hiện toàn bộ
Historical Perspective, Development and Applications of Next-Generation Sequencing in Plant VirologyViruses - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 106-136
Marina Barba, Henryk Czosnek, A. Hadidi
Next-generation high throughput sequencing technologies became available at the onset of the 21st century. They provide a highly efficient, rapid, and low cost DNA sequencing platform beyond the reach of the standard and traditional DNA sequencing technologies developed in the late 1970s. They are continually improved to become faster, more efficient and cheaper. They have been used in man...... hiện toàn bộ
Human Hepatitis B Virus Core Protein Inhibits IFNα-Induced IFITM1 Expression by Interacting with BAF200Viruses - Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 427
Tongya Li, Zunlong Ke, Weiyong Liu, Ying Xiong, Ying Zhu, Yingle Liu
Human hepatitis B virus core protein (HBc) is a structural protein of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and contributes to HBV regulation of host-cell transcription. However, the mechanisms of transcriptional regulation remain poorly characterized. To dissect the function of HBc, a yeast two-hybrid was performed to identify HBc-binding proteins, and the C-terminal of BRG1/hBRM-associated factors...... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnosis of Dengue Infection Using Conventional and Biosensor Based TechniquesViruses - Tập 7 Số 10 - Trang 5410-5427
Om Parkash, Rafidah Hanim Shueb
Dengue is an arthropod-borne viral disease caused by four antigenically different serotypes of dengue virus. This disease is considered as a major public health concern around the world. Currently, there is no licensed vaccine or antiviral drug available for the prevention and treatment of dengue disease. Moreover, clinical features of dengue are indistinguishable from other infectious dis...... hiện toàn bộ
Retrospective Analysis Revealed an April Occurrence of Monkeypox in the Czech RepublicViruses - Tập 14 Số 8 - Trang 1773

Herein, we present our findings of an early appearance of the Monkeypox virus in Prague, Czech Republic. A retrospective analysis of biological samples, carried out on the 28th of April, revealed a previously unrecognized case of Monkeypox virus (MPxV) infection. Subsequent data analysis confirmed that the virus strain belongs to the ongoing outbreak. Combined with clinical and epidemiolog...... hiện toàn bộ
