RIG-I enhanced interferon independent apoptosis upon Junin virus infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Junin virus (JUNV) is the etiological agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF), a human disease with a high case-fatality rate. It is widely accepted that arenaviral infections, including JUNV infections, are generally non-cytopathic. In contrast, here

A single mutation (V64G) within the RING Domain of Z attenuates Junin virus. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Junin virus (JUNV) is a New World arenavirus that is the causative agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF). Candid#1 (Can) is a live-attenuated vaccine strain of JUNV that since its introduction has resulted in a marked decrease in AHF incidence ...

In situ insights into antibody-mediated neutralization of a pre-fusion Junin virus glycoprotein complex [PDF]
Cell ReportsSummary: A transmembrane glycoprotein complex (GPC) decorates the Junin mammarenavirus (JUNV) that causes New World hemorrhagic fevers. We leveraged single-particle cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to image the full-length JUNV GPC directly on ...

A hTfR1 Receptor-Specific VHH Antibody Neutralizes Pseudoviruses Expressing Glycoproteins from Junín and Machupo Viruses [PDF]
VirusesThe Junín virus (JUNV) is one of the New World arenaviruses that cause severe hemorrhagic fever. Human transferrin receptor 1 (hTfR1) has been identified as the main receptor for JUNV for virus entry into host cells.

Vaccine Candidates against Arenavirus Infections
Vaccines, 2023 The viral family Arenaviridae contains several members that cause severe, and often lethal, diseases in humans. Several highly pathogenic arenaviruses are classified as Risk Group 4 agents and must be handled in the highest biological containment ...

Junin virus structural proteins [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1977 Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified Junin virus revealed six distinct structural polypeptides, two major and four minor ones. Four of these polypeptides appeared to be covalently linked with carbohydrate. The molecular weights of the six proteins, estimated by coelectrophoresis with marker proteins, ranged from 25,000 to 91,000.

Siglec-1 Expressed on Dendritic Cells is a New Receptor Implicated in Arenavirus Uptake
Proceedings, 2020 Arenaviruses are enveloped viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever outbreaks in humans and still lack an effective antiviral treatment. Upon early infection, these viruses target dendritic cells (DCs), which can promote systemic viral dissemination ...
