SummaryOne of the 2 suspended cell plaque technics described by Cooper(5) has been modified so that its sensitivity and precision for plaque assay of VEE and EEE virus are satisfactory for general purposes. In addition, the modified suspended cell technic permitted nearly quantitative replication of virus plaques. Feasibility of the method in simulated

RNA Granules in Antiviral Innate Immunity: A Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Journey
RNA granules are cytoplasmic, non-membranous ribonucleoprotein compartments that form ubiquitously and are often referred to as foci for post-transcriptional gene regulation.

SUMO Modification Stabilizes Enterovirus 71 Polymerase 3D To Facilitate Viral Replication. [PDF]
Accumulating evidence suggests that viruses hijack cellular proteins to circumvent the host immune system. Ubiquitination and SUMOylation are extensively studied posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that play critical roles in diverse biological ...

CpG Methylation Profiles of HIV-1 Proviral DNA in Individuals on ART
The latent HIV-1 reservoir is comprised of stably integrated and intact proviruses with limited to no viral transcription. It has been proposed that latent infection may be maintained by methylation of pro-viral DNA.

Passaging of a Newcastle disease virus pigeon variant in chickens results in selection of viruses with mutations in the polymerase complex enhancing virus replication and virulence [PDF]
Some Newcastle disease virus (NDV) variants isolated from pigeons (pigeon paramyxovirus type 1; PPMV-1) do not show their full virulence potential for domestic chickens but may become virulent upon spread in these animals.

Plant virus replication and movement
Replication and intercellular spread of viruses depend on host mechanisms supporting the formation, transport and turnover of functional complexes between viral genomes, virus-encoded products and cellular factors. To enhance these processes, viruses assemble and replicate in membrane-associated complexes that may develop into "virus factories" or ...

The relationship between spatiotemporal distribution of HIV-1 proviruses and their transcriptional activity is not well understood. To elucidate the intranuclear positions of transcriptionally active HIV-1 proviruses, we utilized an RNA fluorescence in ...

Inhibition of hepatitis C virus RNA replication by ISG15 does not require its conjugation to protein substrates by the HERC5 E3 ligase [PDF]
Chronic infection of the liver by hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces a range of host factors including IFN-stimulated genes such as ISG15. ISG15 functions as an antiviral factor that limits virus replication. Previous studies have suggested that ISG15 could

Replication enhancer elements within the open reading frame of tick-borne encephalitis virus and their evolution within the Flavivirus genus [PDF]
We provide experimental evidence of a replication enhancer element (REE) within the capsid gene of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV, genus Flavivirus).

Functional analysis of the N-terminal basic motif of a eukaryotic satellite RNA virus capsid protein in replication and packaging [PDF]
Efficient replication and assembly of virus particles are integral to the establishment of infection. In addition to the primary role of the capsid protein (CP) in encapsidating the RNA progeny, experimental evidence on positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses suggests that the CP also regulates RNA synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that replication of
