RNA structures are essential for genome replication of single stranded positive sense RNA viruses. Here, we confirm the conserved structure of the foot‐and‐mouth disease virus (FMDV) short (S) fragment, a c. 360 nucleotide‐long stem‐loop in the 5′ UTR of the viral genome, by SHAPE and comparative bioinformatic approaches.

Molecular Characterization of the Viroporin Function of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Nonstructural Protein 2B [PDF]
Nonstructural protein 2B of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus (FMDV) is comprised of a small, hydrophobic, 154-amino-acid protein. Structure-function analyses demonstrated that FMDV 2B is an ion channel-forming protein.

Rapid production of a chimeric antibody-antigen fusion protein based on 2A-peptide cleavage and green fluorescent protein expression in CHO cells [PDF]
To enable large-scale antibody production, the creation of a stable, high producer cell line is essential. This process often takes longer than 6 months using standard limited dilution techniques and is very labor intensive.

In planta production of two peptides of the Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) E2 glycoprotein fused to the coat protein of potato virus X [PDF]
Background Classical Swine Fever (CSFV) is one of the most important viral infectious diseases affecting wild boars and domestic pigs. The etiological agent of the disease is the CSF virus, a single stranded RNA virus belonging to the family ...

During serial undiluted passage of a clonal population of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV C-S8c1) in BHK-21 cells, two species of defective RNA were generated and selected. Sequence analysis revealed that they included deletions within the L-coding region, and retained the correct reading frame for viral protein synthesis.

Influence of brain-derived neurotrophic factor on pathfinding of dentate granule cell axons, the hippocampal mossy fibers [PDF]
Mossy fibers, the dentate granule cell axons, are generated throughout an animal's lifetime. Mossy fiber paths and synapses are primarily restricted to the stratum lucidum within the CA3 region.

Laboratory capacity for diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease in Eastern Africa: implications for the progressive control pathway [PDF]
Background Accurate diagnosis is pertinent to any disease control programme. If Eastern Africa is to work towards control of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) using the Progressive Control Pathway for FMD (PCP-FMD) as a tool, then the capacity of national ...
