Infection of wild and laboratory animals with Machupo and Latino viruses.
Natural infection with Machupo and Latino viruses occurs only in the cricetine rodent Calomys callosus. Machupo virus induces fatal infection in suckling mice and hamsters, and in adult guinea-pigs, marmosets, and rhesus monkeys. Latino virus kills only suckling hamsters; it produces chronic but non-viraemic infection in Calomys rodents.Machupo virus ...

High throughput screening for SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors targeting 5 helix bundle
SARS-CoV-2 and other related viruses enter host cells via receptor recognition and membrane fusion. A crucial part of this is mediated by 5HB which is capable of binding to the viral spike heptad repeats (HR2) making 5HB a potential druggable target of ...

[Monoclonal antibodies to the Machupo virus: their isolation and preliminary characteristics].
Six monoclonal antibody-producing hybridoma cell lines were generated by fusion of NS-1 myeloma cells with BALB/c immune splenocytes. Monoclonal antibodies (MCA) specific to Machupo virus NP protein were used to study cross-reactivity between pathogenic and nonpathogenic arenaviruses. It was shown that 3140 MCA cross-reacted in IFA with Lassa, Tacaribe,

[Experimental infection caused by Machupo virus in intact and immunosuppressed albino mice].
Features of the course of experimental infection in white mice caused by Machupo virus in relation to their age, route of virus inoculation, and under conditions of normal and suppressed immune response created by antithymocyte globulin (ATG) were studied.

[Effect of actinomycin D on the reproduction of the Machupo virus].
The effect of inhibitors of mRNA synthesis (actinomycin D and alpha-amanitin) and DNA replication (mitomycin C and ethidium bromide) on Machupo virus reproduction was studied. Actinomycin D (1.0-4.0 micrograms/ml) and alpha-amanitin (10.0 micrograms/ml) added immediately after adsorption reduced the infectious virus titre by 2 lg or more. Actinomycin D
