Transcriptional analysis of antiviral small molecule therapeutics as agonists of the RLR pathway

open access: yesGenomics Data, 2016
The recognition of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRR) during viral infection initiates the induction of antiviral signaling pathways, including activation of the Interferon Regulator Factor 3 (IRF3).

Extreme Genetic Diversity among Pirital Virus (Arenaviridae) Isolates from Western Venezuela

open access: yesVirology, 2001
Pirital-like virus isolates from rodents collected in a variety of habitats within a six-state area of central Venezuela were analyzed genetically by amplifying a portion of the nucleocapsid protein gene using RT-PCR. Comparisons of the sequences from 30 selected Pirital-like virus isolates demonstrated up to 26% divergence in nucleotide sequences and ...

The Role of Platelets in Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae and Flaviviridae are all RNA viruses that can induce a coagulopathy in infected patients. While there is a paucity of information on the cause of this coagulopathy, these viruses all produce a severe ...

Systems immunology of transcriptional responses to viral infection identifies conserved antiviral pathways across macaques and humans

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Viral pandemics and epidemics pose a significant global threat. While macaque models of viral disease are routinely used, it remains unclear how conserved antiviral responses are between macaques and humans.
