Real-Time qPCR as a Method for Detection of Antibody-Neutralized Phage Particles
The most common method for phage quantitation is the plaque assay, which relies on phage ability to infect bacteria. However, non-infective phage particles may preserve other biological properties; specifically, they may enter interactions with the ...

Development of an automated plaque-counting program for the quantification of the Chikungunya virus
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) induces a massive cytopathic effect (CPE) on various cell types. Therefore, the plaque assay, a CPE-based virus titration method, remains the gold standard for quantifying the infectious units of CHIKV.

Genetic variation in baculoviruses is recognized as a key factor, not only due to the influence of such variation on pathogen transmission and virulence traits, but also because genetic variants can form the basis for novel biological insecticides.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.
