Junin virus structural proteins [PDF]
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.

A Narrative Review on Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever: Junin Virus (JUNV)
Epidemic cases of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (also known as AHF) have been associated with the Junin virus, also known as JUNV, ever since the 1950s. The JUNV arenavirus is endemic to the countries of the New World.

The entry of Junin virus into Vero cells [PDF]
The entry mechanism of Junin virus (JV) into Vero cells was studied analyzing the effect of lysosomotropic compounds and acid pH on JV infection. Ammonium chloride, amantadine, chlorpheniramine and procaine inhibited JV production. The action of ammonium chloride was exerted at early times of infection.

Abstract The emerging viruses SARS‐CoV‐2 and arenaviruses cause severe respiratory and hemorrhagic diseases, respectively. The production of infectious particles of both viruses and virus spread in tissues requires cleavage of surface glycoproteins (GPs) by host proprotein convertases (PCs).

The knowns and unknowns of cardiac autoimmunity in viral myocarditis
Abstract Myocarditis can result from various infectious and non‐infectious causes that can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure. Among the infectious causes, viruses are commonly suspected. But the challenge is our inability to demonstrate infectious viral particles during clinical presentations, partly because by that point, the ...

In vitro infection of murine macrophages with Junin virus [PDF]
Mouse peritoneal macrophages were successfully infected with two strains of Junin virus producing high titers with no apparent cell damage. Infected cultures survived longer than noninfected cultures. The pattern of virus release suggested a persistent infection.

Transmission of the New World hemorrhagic fever arenaviruses Junín virus (JUNV) and Machupo virus (MACV) to humans is facilitated, in part, by the interaction between the arenavirus GP1 glycoprotein and the human transferrin receptor 1 (hTfR1).
