Understanding the process of envelope glycoprotein incorporation into virions in simian and feline immunodeficiency viruses [PDF]
The lentiviral envelope glycoproteins (Env) mediate virus entry by interacting with specific receptors present at the cell surface, thereby determining viral tropism and pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT Adeno‐associated viral (AAV) vectors for gene therapy are becoming integral to modern medicine, providing therapeutic options for diseases once deemed incurable. Currently, viral vector purification is a critical bottleneck in the gene therapy industry, impacting product efficacy and safety as well as accessibility and cost to patients ...

β-Coronaviruses exploit ESCRT for virion assembly and egress
β-Coronaviruses assemble at the endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi compartment and exit cells through the lysosomal trafficking pathway. However, the molecular mechanisms of virion assembly and egress are largely unknown. Here, we report that β-coronaviruses

Generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T cells in vitro II. Induction requirements with functionally inactivated virus preparations [PDF]
Using noninfectious Sendai virus preparations after selective enzymatic digestion of either of the two viral envelope glycoproteins, it was possible to study the effect of different virion-cell membrane interactions on virus-specific cytotoxic T ...

The spread of non‐native species
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Carboxyl-Terminal Region of the Maturation Protein of RNA Coliphage Qβ Mediates Host Attachment, Virion Formation, and Cell Lysis. [PDF]
The capsid of the single‐stranded RNA coliphage Qβ has a maturation (A2) protein that penetrates the capsid. The N‐terminal β‐region of A2 is exposed on the surface, and the C‐terminal α‐region is located inside the capsid and binds the genomic RNA. In this study, we showed that Qβ attached to the F‐pilus of the host via A2.

Phosphoprotein Component of Vaccinia Virions [PDF]
The recent discovery of a protein kinase activity in vaccinia virions led us to search for a viral protein which is phosphorylated in vivo. Vaccinia virus was radioactively labeled by infecting cells in the presence of 32 P 1 .

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]
As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.

Spontaneous regression of equine sarcoids is an exceptional event
Abstract Sarcoids are benign, yet locally aggressive skin tumours that commonly affect horses and other equid species. The lesions are induced by bovine papillomavirus types 1, 2, and probably 13 in conjunction with other factors including trauma and a genetic predisposition.
