Ebola virus-like particles produced in insect cells exhibit dendritic cell stimulating activity and induce neutralizing antibodies [PDF]
Recombinant baculoviruses (rBV) expressing Ebola virus VP40 (rBV-VP40) or GP (rBV-GP) proteins were generated. Infection of Sf9 insect cells by rBV-VP40 led to assembly and budding of filamentous particles from the cell surface as shown by electron ...

Monitoring peripheral protein oligomerization on biological membranes [PDF]
Peripheral proteins transiently interact with cellular membranes where they regulate important cellular events such as signal transduction. A number of peripheral proteins harbor lipid-binding modules that not only bind selectively with nanomolar ...

Small-Molecule Probes Targeting the Viral PPxY-Host Nedd4 Interface Block Egress of a Broad Range of RNA Viruses. [PDF]
Budding of filoviruses, arenaviruses, and rhabdoviruses is facilitated by subversion of host proteins, such as Nedd4 E3 ubiquitin ligase, by viral PPxY late (L) budding domains expressed within the matrix proteins of these RNA viruses.

Functional characterization of Ebola virus L-domains using VSV recombinants [PDF]
VSV recombinants containing the overlapping L-domain sequences from Ebola virus VP40 (PTAPPEY) were recovered by reverse-genetics. Replication kinetics of M40-WT, M40-P24L, and M40-Y30A were indistinguishable from VSV-WT in BHK-21 cells, whereas the ...

Die IRE1-abhängige ER-Stress-Antwort wird durch antagonistische Effekte der Marburg Virus Proteine GP und VP30 ausbalanciert [PDF]
Das Marburg Virus (MARV) gehört, wie das Ebola Virus (EBOV), zur Familie der Filoviridae. Im Menschen führt eine Infektion mit dem MARV häufig zu schweren Fiebererkrankungen mit einer Letalitätsrate von bis zu 90%.

TIM-family Proteins Promote Infection of Multiple Enveloped Viruses through Virion-associated Phosphatidylserine [PDF]
Human T-cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin-domain containing proteins (TIM1, 3, and 4) specifically bind phosphatidylserine (PS). TIM1 has been proposed to serve as a cellular receptor for hepatitis A virus and Ebola virus and as an entry factor for dengue ...

Marburg virus survivor immune responses are Th1 skewed with limited neutralizing antibody responses. [PDF]
Until recently, immune responses in filovirus survivors remained poorly understood. Early studies revealed IgM and IgG responses to infection with various filoviruses, but recent outbreaks have greatly expanded our understanding of filovirus immune ...

Correspondence of Neutralizing Humoral Immunity and CD4 T Cell Responses in Long Recovered Sudan Virus Survivors. [PDF]
Robust humoral and cellular immunity are critical for survival in humans during an ebolavirus infection. However, the interplay between these two arms of immunity is poorly understood.
