Development of Long-Term Stability of Enveloped rVSV Viral Vector Expressing SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Using a DOE-Guided Approach

Vaccines
Liquid formulations have been successfully used in many viral vector vaccines including influenza (Flu), hepatitis B, polio (IPV), Ebola, and COVID-19 vaccines. The main advantage of liquid formulations over lyophilized formulations is that they are cost-

A Reference Viral Database (RVDB) To Enhance Bioinformatics Analysis of High-Throughput Sequencing for Novel Virus Detection

mSphere, 2018
Detection of distantly related viruses by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) is bioinformatically challenging because of the lack of a public database containing all viral sequences, without abundant nonviral sequences, which can extend runtime and obscure

Identification of an essential virulence gene of cyprinid herpesvirus 3 [PDF]

, 2017
The genus Cyprinivirus consists of a growing list of phylogenetically related viruses, some of which cause severe economic losses to the aquaculture industry. The archetypal member, cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) causes mass mortalities worldwide in koi

Multivalent Protein Nanorings for Broad and Potent SARS‐CoV‐2 Neutralization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A protein‐only, modular multivalent nanoscaffold displaying 20 anchor points, decorated with two different binders (10 of each), targeting the SARS‐CoV‐2 receptor‐binding domain is presented. The construct self‐assembles into stable, biocompatible, homogeneous nanoparticles, exhibit synergistic binding with fM IC50 values. It also detects spike at 9 ng

Characterization of a synthetic infectious cloned DNA of simian foamy virus serotype 1

npj Viruses
A virus stock of a cloned infectious DNA of simian foamy virus serotype 1 (SFV-1) was obtained in M. dunni cells (designated as pSFV-MD). The kinetics of replication were similar to the parent uncloned SFV-MD stock in M.

Characterization of Chemically-Induced Endogenous Retroviral Particles in the CHO-K1 Cell Line

Viruses
The Chinese hamster ovary K1 cell line (CHO-K1) constitutively produces retroviral-like particles (RVLPs) containing reverse transcriptase (RT) activity, which, thus far, have not been shown to be infectious.
