Fitness Determinations in Vesicular Stomatitis Virus
Fitness is defined as the overall replicative ability. Testing whether a mutation (or combination of mutations) has an effect on fitness often relays on determining virus production as a surrogate measurement. However, viruses do not usually replicate in

Single virus fingerprinting by widefield interferometric defocus-enhanced mid-infrared photothermal microscopy [PDF]
Clinical identification and fundamental study of viruses rely on the detection of viral proteins or viral nucleic acids. Yet, amplification-based and antigen-based methods are not able to provide precise compositional information of individual virions due to small particle size and low-abundance chemical contents (e.g., ~ 5000 proteins in a vesicular ...

Predicting essential components of signal transduction networks: a dynamic model of guard cell abscisic acid signaling [PDF]
Plants both lose water and take in carbon dioxide through microscopic stomatal pores, each of which is regulated by a surrounding pair of guard cells. During drought, the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits stomatal opening and promotes stomatal closure, thereby promoting water conservation.

Dose-dependent T-cell Dynamics and Cytokine Cascade Following rVSV-ZEBOV Immunization. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The recent West African Ebola epidemic led to accelerated efforts to test Ebola vaccine candidates. As part of the World Health Organisation-led VSV Ebola Consortium (VEBCON), we performed a phase I clinical trial investigating rVSV-ZEBOV (a ...

The Y-box factor ZONAB/DbpA associates with GEF-H1/Lfc and mediates Rho-stimulated transcription [PDF]
Epithelial tight junctions recruit different types of signalling proteins that regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. Little is known about how such proteins interact functionally and biochemically with each other.

Inhibition of translation by poliovirus: Inactivation of a specific initiation factor [PDF]
Translation of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) mRNA, like host mRNA translation, is inhibited in cells infected with poliovirus. To study the mechanism of poliovirus-induced inhibition of protein synthesis, we prepared extracts from poliovirus-infected ...

Oncolytic viruses, such as vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), are a promising class of cancer therapeutics. Here the authors report that a mutation in the CSDE1 gene renders cancer cells resistant to VSV replication and oncolysis, but a mutation-derived ...
