The in silico analysis shows that the envelope glycoproteins E of Zika viruses (ZIKV) isolated in Asia, Africa and South and Central America encode highly conserved information determining their interacting profile and immunological properties ...

Gene transfer into hepatocytes using asialoglycoprotein receptor mediated endocytosis of DNA complexed with an artificial tetra-antennary galactose ligand [PDF]
We have constructed an artificial ligand for the hepatocyte-specific asialoglycoprotein receptor for the purpose of generating a synthetic delivery system for DNA.

Influenza viruses possess at their surface two glycoproteins, the hemagglutinin and the neuraminidase, of which the antagonistic functions have to be well balanced for the virus to grow efficiently. Ferraris et al.

Influenza virus morphogenesis and budding. [PDF]
Influenza viruses are enveloped, negative stranded, segmented RNA viruses belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. Each virion consists of three major sub-viral components, namely (i) a viral envelope decorated with three transmembrane proteins ...

Overview of Serological Techniques for Influenza Vaccine Evaluation: Past, Present and Future [PDF]
Serological techniques commonly used to quantify influenza-specific antibodies include the Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI), Single Radial Haemolysis (SRH) and Virus Neutralization (VN) assays.

Next-Generation Influenza HA Immunogens and Adjuvants in Pursuit of a Broadly Protective Vaccine
Influenza virus, a highly mutable respiratory pathogen, causes significant disease nearly every year. Current vaccines are designed to protect against circulating influenza strains of a given season.

Expression of a Membrane-Anchored Glycoprotein, the Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin, by Dicistronic Replicons Derived from the Poliovirus Genome [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mono- and dicistronic poliovirus replicons were constructed to express the influenza virus hemagglutinin, retaining its signal peptide and transmembrane region. Picornavirus genomes do not normally encode glycoproteins, and only the dicistronic replicon, in which the foreign and poliovirus sequences were separated by the ...

Single-dose mucosal immunization with a candidate universal influenza vaccine provides rapid protection from virulent H5N1, H3N2 and H1N1 viruses. [PDF]
The sudden emergence of novel influenza viruses is a global public health concern. Conventional influenza vaccines targeting the highly variable surface glycoproteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase must antigenically match the emerging strain to be ...

Distribution of O-Acetylated Sialic Acids among Target Host Tissues for Influenza Virus. [PDF]
Sialic acids (Sias) are important glycans displayed on the cells and tissues of many different animals and are frequent targets for binding and modification by pathogens, including influenza viruses.

Functional expression in primate cells of cloned DNA coding for the hemagglutinin surface glycoprotein of influenza virus. [PDF]
We have used simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA as a vector for expression of functional activity of a cloned influenza viral DNA segment in primate cells. Cloned full-length DNA sequences coding for the hemagglutinin of influenza A virus (Udorn/72/[H3N2]) were inserted into the late region of a viable deletion mutant of SV40, and the hybrid DNA was propagated
