A Liquid Crystal Model of Viral DNA Encapsidation

, 2017
A liquid crystal continuum modeling framework for icosahedra bacteriophage viruses is developed and tested. The main assumptions of the model are the chromonic columnar hexagonal structure of confined DNA, the high resistance to bending and the phase ...

The T‐Cell Response Mechanism in Human Papillomavirus‐Associated Cervical Cancer and New Strategies for Immunotherapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a double‐stranded DNA virus that infects human skin and mucosal tissues exclusively. The German scientist Harald zur Hausen was awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the link between HPV infection and cervical cancer.

Recombinant in vitro assembled hepatitis C virus core particles induce strong specific immunity enhanced by formulation with an oil-based adjuvant

Biological Research, 2009
In the present work, immunogenicity of recombinant in vitro assembled hepatitis C virus core particles, HCcAg.120-VLPs, either alone or in combination with different adjuvants was evaluated in BALB/c mice. HCcAg.120-VLPs induced high titers of anti-HCcAg.

Capture of adeno‐associated viruses from clarified lysate by continuous flow ultracentrifugation: a comparative study of iodixanol and sucrose gradients

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Adeno‐Associated Virus vectors are widely used in gene therapy due to their safety and efficacy. Despite the interest in their therapeutical application, AAV purification remains a significant challenge. Density gradient ultracentrifugation using cesium chloride, sucrose, or iodixanol gradients are common methods for AAV ...

Efficient Capsid Antigen Presentation From Adeno-Associated Virus Empty Virions In Vivo

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have been successfully applied in clinical trials for hemophilic patients. Although promising, the clinical results suggest that the capsid-specific CD8+T cell response has a negative effect on therapeutic success. In

Bioanalytical TERS and Advanced Data Processing Methods

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy delivers label‐free, subnanometer vibrational imaging of biological systems. Recent advances in instrumentation, data analysis, and ambient/liquid operation enable surface‐selective mapping of molecular heterogeneity in proteins, nucleic acids, membranes, and viruses, positioning TERS as a powerful platform for nanoscale

Beta Human Papillomaviruses Seropositivity and the Association With Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most common nonmelanoma skin cancers, with increasing incidence globally. Beta genus human papillomaviruses (β‐HPVs), particularly in immunocompromised individuals, have been implicated in the development of cSCC. However, the strength of association between β‐HPV seropositivity

Quantifying Protein–Glycan Interactions Using Native Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interactions between glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs) and carbohydrates (glycans) are essential to many biological processes relevant to human health and disease. For most GBPs, however, their glycan interactome—the repertoire of glycans recognized and their specificities—is poorly defined.

Discovery of three novel neutralizing antibody epitopes on the human astrovirus capsid spike and mechanistic insights into virus neutralization

Journal of Virology
Human astroviruses (HAstVs) are a leading cause of viral childhood diarrhea that infects nearly every individual during their lifetime. Although human astroviruses are highly prevalent, no approved vaccine currently exists.
