Nuclease Activity of the Junín Virus Nucleoprotein C-Terminal Domain
The mammarenavirus Junín (JUNV) is the causative agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever, a severe disease of public health concern. The most abundant viral protein is the nucleoprotein (NP), a multifunctional, two-domain protein with the primary role as ...

Single dose rVSVΔG-JUNVGP vaccine protects guinea pigs against lethal Junin virus challenge
Junin virus (JUNV) is a pathogen of biodefense importance due to its potential for aerosol transmission and mortality rates reaching 30%. Currently, there are no JUNV vaccines licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for at-risk ...

Immunosuppression in Experimental Junin Virus Infection of Mice
The effects of cyclophosphamide (CY), anti-mouse thymocyte sera, oxisuran, and cytosine arabinoside were evaluated in adult and newborn mice infected with Junin virus. Treatment with CY was the most effective, Adult mice, which are not normally susceptible to intracerebral infection with 10(3) LD50 of Junin virus, were rendered susceptible by treatment

Protection Against Junin Virus by Immunization with Live Tacaribe Virus
SummaryAdult guinea pigs immunized with the live Tacaribe virus are able to resist challenge with a large dose of Junin virus to which they are normally susceptible. Sera from the Tacaribe virus-immunized guinea pigs contain abundant homologous antibody demonstrable by both complement-fixation and plaque neutralization tests.

The cross‐reactivity of substrates, modulators with other enzymes significantly reduces/prevents our ability to design such highly specific, that is, “one warhead–one target”, modulators. On the other hand, the potential “impasse” fuels repurposing of already developed drugs.
