ABSTRACT Seasonal influenza is prevalent every winter, and influenza vaccines are used to safeguard public health. As the influenza vaccines are produced in embryonated hen eggs using vaccine viruses recommended by the World Health Organization each year based on the epidemic situation, it is important, from the perspective of public health, to ...

Characterisation and detection of dasheen mosaic potyvirus in Zantedeschia : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Horticultural Science in Plant Health at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Four potyvirus isolates believed to be dasheen mosaic potyvirus, the most frequently occurring virus to infect members of the Araceae, were obtained from Caladium, Colocasia, Xanthosoma and Zantedeschia in world-wide locations.

Generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells in vitro I. Induction conditions of primary and secondary Sendai virus-specific cytotoxic T cells [PDF]
H-2-restricted cytotoxic T cells specific for Sendai virus were generated in vitro in a primary response from normal mouse lymphocytes cultured in the presence of infective as well as inactivated Sendai virus. Antigen-presenting cells of different origin,

Bordetella BcrH1 and BcrH2 Are Specific Chaperones for the Pore‐Forming Complex
ABSTRACT Bordetella has a type III secretion system that secretes virulence proteins crucial to the establishment of infection. The genes encoding components of the Bordetella type III secretion system are located in the bsc region on the chromosome. This region includes the bcrH1 and bcrH2 genes, which respectively encode the proteins BcrH1 and BcrH2.

Purification and characterization of mammalian integrins expressed by a rat neuronal cell line (PC12): evidence that they function as alpha/beta heterodimeric receptors for laminin and type IV collagen. [PDF]
Cells of the rat neuronal line, PC12, adhere well to substrates coated with laminin and type IV collagen, but attach poorly to fibronectin. Adhesion and neurite extension in response to these extracellular matrix proteins are inhibited by Fab fragments ...

Do stylet‐borne aphid‐transmitted viruses share the same binding sites?
Here, we tested if different stylet‐borne aphid‐transmitted viruses can compete for the same binding sites within the aphid stylets. We conducted sequential transmission assays of a potyvirus (ZYMV) followed by a cucumovirus (CMV) using Aphis gossypii as a vector and melon and pepper as test plants.

A sandwich ELISA for the detection of bluetongue virus in cell culture using antiserum against the recombinant VP7 protein [PDF]
A polyclonal antibody-based sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (s-ELISA) was developed for the detection of bluetongue virus (BTV). The test used antiserum against BTV and antiserum against the bluetongue (BT) core protein.
