Polyfunctional CD4+ T cell responses to a set of pathogenic arenaviruses provide broad population coverage [PDF]
, 2010 Background Several arenaviruses cause severe hemorrhagic fever and aseptic meningitis in humans for which no licensed vaccines are available. A major obstacle for vaccine development is pathogen heterogeneity within the Arenaviridae family.

The role of myristoylation in the membrane association of the Lassa virus matrix protein Z
Virology Journal, 2006 The Z protein is the matrix protein of arenaviruses and has been identified as the main driving force for budding. Both LCMV and Lassa virus Z proteins bud from cells in the absence of other viral proteins as enveloped virus-like particles. Z accumulates

Innate and adaptive immune control of genetically engineered live-attenuated arenavirus vaccine prototypes [PDF]
, 2017 Arenaviruses such as Lassa virus (LASV) cause significant morbidity and mortality in endemic areas. Using a glycoprotein (GP) exchange strategy, we have recently developed live-attenuated arenavirus vaccine prototypes (rLCMV/VSVG) based on lymphocytic ...
