Crystal structure of Junin virus nucleoprotein
Journal of General Virology, 2013 Junin virus (JUNV) has been identified as the aetiological agent of Argentine haemorrhagic fever (AHF), which is a serious public health problem with approximately 5 million people at risk. It is treated as a potential bioterrorism agent because of its rapid transmission by aerosols.

Structural basis for recognition and regulation of arenavirus polymerase L by Z protein
Nature Communications, 2021 Junin virus (JUNV) causes Argentine hemorrhagic fever and encodes the large protein (L) of the RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and its regulator, the matrix zinc-binding protein (Z).

Review of Mammarenavirus Biology and Replication
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The family Arenaviridae is divided into three genera: Mammarenavirus, Reptarenavirus, and Hartmanivirus. The Mammarenaviruses contain viruses responsible for causing human hemorrhagic fever diseases including New World viruses Junin, Machupo, Guanarito ...

Nature Communications, 2018 The five known New World hemorrhagic fever arenaviruses use the same entry receptor, but their viral glycoproteins are markedly different. Here, the authors isolate monoclonal antibodies from a Junin virus vaccinated person that cross-neutralize Machupo ...

Tacaribe virus but not junin virus infection induces cytokine release from primary human monocytes and macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 The mechanisms underlying the development of disease during arenavirus infection are poorly understood. However, common to all hemorrhagic fever diseases is the involvement of macrophages as primary target cells, suggesting that the immune response in ...

Replication of Junin Virus in the Presence of Tunicamycin
Intervirology, 1984 In the presence of tunicamycin (TM), an antibiotic which inhibits glycosylation, Junin virus-infected cells released 70% as much virus as control cultures, as measured by [35S]-methionine appearing in a sucrose gradient virus particle fraction. In this same fraction, the incorporation of [14C]-glucosamine was inhibited 85% by TM, accompanied by a ...
