Pathological Studies on Hantaan Virus-Infected Mice Simulating Severe Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome [PDF]
Hantaan virus is the causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). The Hantaan virus strain, Korean hemorrhagic fever virus clone-5 (KHF5), causes weight loss and renal hemorrhage in laboratory mice.

Clinical Evaluation of a Vaccinia-Vectored Hantaan Virus Vaccine [PDF]
We evaluated a vaccinia-vectored vaccine for hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in clinical trials. A Phase I dose-escalation study in 16 volunteers divided into four groups demonstrated that subcutaneous inoculation of approximately 107 plaque ...

Introduction of Vaccinomics to Develop Personalized Vaccines in Light of Changes in the Usage of Hantaan Virus Vaccine (Hantavax) in Korea [PDF]
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of Korea made an official announcement in March 2018 that the total number of inoculations of Hantaan virus vaccine (Hantavax®) would change from 3 to 4. Some aspects of this decision remain controversial.

Structural characterization of the full-length Hantaan virus polymerase. [PDF]
Hantaviridae are a family of segmented negative-sense RNA viruses that contain important human and animal pathogens. Hantaviridae contain a viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that replicates and transcribes the viral genome.

Development of an in-house dual RT-qPCR assay for detecting SFTSV and Hantaan virus simultaneously [PDF]
Given the overlapping endemic regions and clinical similarities between severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), we developed a dual real‐time fluorescence‐based reverse transcription ...

Plasma thrombomodulin is a valuable biomarker to predict the severity of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome caused by the Hantaan virus [PDF]
ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the Thrombomodulin (TM) levels in patients who suffered hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) of varying severities, and to evaluate the predictive properties of TM for the seriousness of HFRS, thereby ...

The Hantaan Virus Glycoprotein Precursor Is Cleaved at the Conserved Pentapeptide WAASA [PDF]
The medium segment of the tripartite negative-stranded RNA genome of hantaviruses encodes for the predicted glycoprotein precursor GPC. We have demonstrated here the expression of the glycoprotein precursor of Hantaan virus following transfection of ...

Comparative Structural and Functional Analysis of Bunyavirus and Arenavirus Cap-Snatching Endonucleases. [PDF]
Segmented negative strand RNA viruses of the arena-, bunya- and orthomyxovirus families uniquely carry out viral mRNA transcription by the cap-snatching mechanism.

Structures of active Hantaan virus polymerase uncover the mechanisms of Hantaviridae genome replication [PDF]
Hantaviruses are causing life-threatening zoonotic infections in humans. Their tripartite negative-stranded RNA genome is replicated by the multi-functional viral RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase.
