Tardive dyskinetic syndrome in rats infected with Borna disease virus
Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder caused by chronic treatment of psychiatric patients with dopamine (DA) receptor blocking drugs (Stacy & Jankovic 1991).

Maturation of Borna disease virus glycoprotein [PDF]
The maturation of Borna disease virus (BDV) glycoprotein GP was studied in regard to intracellular compartmentalization, compartmentalization signal‐domains, proteolytic processing, and packaging into virus particles. Our data show that BDV‐GP is (i) predominantly located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), (ii) partially exists in the ER already as ...

Crystal Structure of the Borna Disease Virus Nucleoprotein [PDF]
Borna disease virus (BDV) causes an infection of the central nervous system in a wide range of vertebrates, which can fatally progress to an immune-mediated disease, called Borna disease. BDV is a member of the Mononegavirales, which also includes the highly infectious measles and Ebola viruses.

Adaptation of Borna Disease Virus to the Mouse
Borna disease virus has been adapted to the mouse, which required at least three passages in rat brains. Genetic specificity as studied with five inbred mouse strains was not evident. Newborn mice inoculated intracerebrally expressed antigen in neurons and remained persistently infected, with up to 10(7) infectious units per gram of brain tissue ...

The 24K protein of Borna disease virus
Based on partial amino acid sequences obtained from tryptic peptides of the purified 24K antigen of Borna disease virus (BDV), we identified and sequenced four independent cDNA clones established from BDV-infected MDCK cells. Each of the clones encodes a polypeptide of 201 residues (Mr 22461) that differs considerably from an amino acid sequence ...

Mechanism of Borna Disease Virus Entry into Cells [PDF]
ABSTRACT We have investigated the entry pathway of Borna disease virus (BDV). Virus entry was assessed by detecting early viral replication and transcription. Lysosomotropic agents (ammonium chloride, chloroquine, and amantadine), as well as energy depletion, prevented BDV infection, indicating that BDV enters host cells by endocytosis and ...

The Neuropathogenesis of Borna Disease Virus Infections
The unique genetic and biological properties of this small enveloped RNA virus indicate that Borna disease virus (BDV) is an evolutionary old pathogen. It appears perfectly adapted to persist inside the limbic system, a most delicate and sensitive old area of the mammalian brain involved in the control of mood, behavior, and memory.

Abstract Objective Long‐term memory deficits are often seen in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Recently, studies showed that patients with hippocampal sclerosis (HS) type 2, which presents with severe neuron loss in CA1 only, performed within the normal range. However, up to 30% of HS type 2 cases have memory deficits.

Summary Borna disease is an acute to subacute, rarely chronic non‐purulent meningoencephaylomyelitis affecting mainly horses and sheep. This case series describes the clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, outcome and post‐mortem findings of five horses and two donkeys with this condition. The equids affected were geldings or mares of various breeds and

ABSTRACT This case highlights a relapse of major depressive disorder in an elderly man following a flu‐like illness, with clinical features and laboratory findings supporting a possible inflammatory contribution. It emphasises the relevance of the inflammatory theory of depression, especially in individuals with late‐life depression and recent immune ...
