Borna disease virus infection perturbs energy metabolites and amino acids in cultured human oligodendroglia cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Borna disease virus is a neurotropic, non-cytolytic virus that has been widely employed in neuroscientific research. Previous studies have revealed that metabolic perturbations are associated with Borna disease viral infection.

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2001 AbstractBorna disease virus (BDV) is unique amongst animal RNA viruses in its molecular biology and capacity to cause persistent, noncytolytic CNS‐infection in a wide variety of host species. Unlike other non‐segmented negative‐strand RNA animal viruses, BDV replicates in the nucleus of the host cell where splicing is employed for expression of a very ...

Processing of genome 5' termini as a strategy of negative-strand RNA viruses to avoid RIG-I-dependent interferon induction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Innate immunity is critically dependent on the rapid production of interferon in response to intruding viruses. The intracellular pathogen recognition receptors RIG-I and MDA5 are essential for interferon induction by viral RNAs containing 5 ...
