A DNA Microarray-Based Assay to Detect Dual Infection with Two Dengue Virus Serotypes
Sensors, 2014 Here; we have described and tested a microarray based-method for the screening of dengue virus (DENV) serotypes. This DNA microarray assay is specific and sensitive and can detect dual infections with two dengue virus serotypes and single-serotype ...

The DNA Polymerases of Vaccinia Virus-infected Animal Cells
Journal of General Virology, 1970 Increased DNA polymerase (E.C. 2.7.7.7) activity after infection with vaccinia virus has been found in several different host cell systems (Magee, 1962; Green, Pina & Chagoya, 1964; Jungwirth & Joklik, 1965). Various lines of evidence indicate that this increase results from the formation of a new DNA polymerase (Jungwirth & Joklik, 1965; Magee ...

Virology. A virus that infects a hyperthermophile encapsidates A-form DNA. [PDF]
Science (New York, N.Y.), 2015 Extremophiles, microorganisms thriving in extreme environmental conditions, must have proteins and nucleic acids that are stable at extremes of temperature and pH. The nonenveloped, rod-shaped virus SIRV2 (Sulfolobus islandicus rod-shaped virus 2) infects the hyperthermophilic acidophile Sulfolobus islandicus, which lives at 80°C and pH 3. We have used

Histone demethylase LSD1 restricts influenza A virus infection by erasing IFITM3-K88 monomethylation. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 The histone demethylase LSD1 has been known as a key transcriptional coactivator for DNA viruses such as herpes virus. Inhibition of LSD1 was found to block viral genome transcription and lytic replication of DNA viruses.
