The envelope consists of an inner layer of lipids and virus specified proteins also called membrane or matrix proteins. (lookformedical.com)
Cognitive deficits in diabetes could result from toxic oxidative stress in the brain: damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA caused by free-floating ions and oxygen-containing molecules. (issuu.com)
We determined the mechanisms that drastically alter their specific infectivity through oxidation of their lipids, and we highlighted that they are protected from lipid oxidation by secreted cellular proteins, which can protect their membrane fusion capacity and overall infectivity. (bvsalud.org)
Gp1205
At the surface of the virion can be found a limited number of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) of HIV, a trimer formed by heterodimers of gp120 and gp41. (wikipedia.org)
As the only proteins on the surface of the virus, the envelope glycoproteins (gp120 and gp41) are the major targets for HIV vaccine efforts. (wikipedia.org)
Recombinant trimeric viral spikes are promising vaccine candidates as they display less non-neutralising epitopes than recombinant monomeric gp120 which act to suppress the immune response to target epitopes. (wikipedia.org)
Gp120 has been shown to interfere with the normal function of CD4 and is at least partly responsible for the cytopathic effect of HIV . (lookformedical.com)
The density is high as the glycans shield underlying viral protein from neutralisation by antibodies. (wikipedia.org)
The unusual processing and high density means that almost all broadly neutralising antibodies that have so far been identified (from a subset of patients that have been infected for many months to years) bind to or, are adapted to cope with, these envelope glycans. (wikipedia.org)
The primary safety outcome was safety and tolerability after one and two doses of nOPV2, given 4 weeks apart in poliovirus vaccine-naive newborn infants and the primary immunogenicity outcome was the seroconversion rate for neutralising antibodies against type 2 poliovirus, measured 28 days after the first and second vaccinations with nOPV2. (cdc.gov)
Capsid3
Each virion comprises a viral envelope and associated matrix enclosing a capsid, which itself encloses two copies of the single-stranded RNA genome and several enzymes. (wikipedia.org)
HIV-1 is composed of two copies of noncovalently linked, unspliced, positive-sense single-stranded RNA enclosed by a conical capsid composed of the viral protein p24, typical of lentiviruses. (wikipedia.org)
Layers of protein which surround the capsid in animal viruses with tubular nucleocapsids. (lookformedical.com)

We aimed to assess these aspects of nOPV2 in poliovirus vaccine-naive newborn infants. (cdc.gov)
Membrane2
Viral structural proteins are encoded by long ORFs, whereas smaller ORFs encode regulators of the viral life cycle: attachment, membrane fusion, replication, and assembly. (wikipedia.org)
citation needed] The envelope of the virion is formed by a plasma membrane of host cell origin, which is supported by a matrix composed of the viral p17 protein, ensuring the integrity of the virion particle. (wikipedia.org)
Viral5
The HIV genome encodes a small number of viral proteins, invariably establishing cooperative associations among HIV proteins and between HIV and host proteins, to invade host cells and hijack their internal machineries. (wikipedia.org)
The genome of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) encodes 8 viral proteins playing essential roles during the HIV life cycle. (wikipedia.org)
The two copies of RNA strands are vital in contributing to HIV-1 recombination, which occurs during reverse transcription of viral replication. (wikipedia.org)
The products are usually synthesized as protein precursors or POLYPROTEINS, which are then cleaved by viral proteases to yield the final products. (lookformedical.com)
However, how virus protein-lipid interactions contribute to the viral life cycle remains unclear. (bvsalud.org)

Virus1
Although they are structurally diverse, with different compositions, sizes, and shapes, enveloped viruses are generally less stable than non-enveloped viruses, pointing out the role of envelopes themselves in virus lability. (bvsalud.org)
Treat1
It is invigorating to learn how researchers are developing new ways to track and treat cancer, diabetes, HIV and even the flu. (issuu.com)
Reverse2
Its innermost region consists of a cone-shaped core that includes two copies of the (positive sense) ssRNA genome, the enzymes reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease, some minor proteins, and the major core protein. (wikipedia.org)
The single-strand RNA is tightly bound to p7 nucleocapsid proteins, late assembly protein p6, and enzymes essential to the development of the virion, such as reverse transcriptase and integrase. (wikipedia.org)
Type2
BACKGROUND: Type 2 circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses (cVDPV2) from Sabin oral poliovirus vaccines (OPVs) are the leading cause of poliomyelitis. (cdc.gov)
A novel type 2 OPV (nOPV2) has been developed to be more genetically stable with similar tolerability and immunogenicity to that of Sabin type 2 vaccines to mitigate the risk of cVDPV2. (cdc.gov)

Infection6
Thus, in 1991, we began our experiments in which SLPI was tested and shown to have surprising efficacy at inhibiting HIV-1 infection in vitro. (nih.gov)
In addition to inhibiting HIV in monocytes, SLPI inhibits infection of T cells and T-cell lines by laboratory and clinical HIV isolates (3, T.B. McNeely, S.P. Eisenberg, D. Dripps, and S.M. Wahl, unpublished observations). (nih.gov)
Opsonized HIV-1 by complement enhances the infection of various mucosal target cells, such as dendritic cells (DC) and epithelial cells. (biomedcentral.com)
These observations demonstrate that HIV-1 opsonization by complements may modulate in vitro the efficiency of candidate microbicides to inhibit HIV-1 infection of mucosal target cells, as well as its crossing through mucosa. (biomedcentral.com)
The aim of the present proof-of-concept study was to evaluate whether complement opsonization may affect the in vitro activity of a panel of microbicide molecule candidates acting against early steps of HIV-1 infection. (biomedcentral.com)
Exclusion criteria included receipt of rotavirus or any other poliovirus vaccine, any infection or illness at the time of enrolment (vomiting, diarrhoea, or intolerance to liquids), diagnosis or suspicion of any immunodeficiency disorder in the infant or a close family member, or any contraindication for venipuncture. (cdc.gov)
Reverse transcriptase2
Its innermost region consists of a cone-shaped core that includes two copies of the (positive sense) ssRNA genome, the enzymes reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease, some minor proteins, and the major core protein. (wikipedia.org)
At physiologic concentrations (~1 ug/mL), SLPI inhibits the appearance of reverse transcriptase (RT) activity in human monocyte/macrophage cell cultures exposed to HIV-1 (3). (nih.gov)

Inhibitors1
We are currently working to define the role of host cell machinery in Gag trafficking to the PM and will seek to develop inhibitors of HIV-1 Gag trafficking, membrane binding, and assembly. (nih.gov)
Epitopes1
The human and simian immunodeficiency viruses HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV interact with similar epitopes on their cellular receptor, the CD4 molecule. (academicinfluence.com)
Candidates2
We herein evaluated the effect of HIV-1 complement opsonization on microbicide candidates' activity, by using three in vitro mucosal models: CCR5-tropic HIV-1 JR-CSF transcytosis through epithelial cells, HIV-1 JR-CSF attachment on immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (iMDDC), and infectivity of iMDDC by CCR5-tropic HIV-1 BaL and CXCR4-tropic HIV-1 NDK . (biomedcentral.com)
A panel of 10 microbicide candidates [T20, CADA, lectines HHA & GNA, PVAS, human lactoferrin, and monoclonal antibodies IgG1B12, 12G5, 2G12 and 2F5], were investigated using cell-free unopsonized or opsonized HIV-1 by complements. (biomedcentral.com)
Secretions2
In 1986, Robert Thompson of Synergen and Kjell Ohlsson of the University of Lund, Sweden, purified this protease inhibitor from large volumes of parotid secretions, and the newly sequenced protein was dubbed secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) (8). (nih.gov)
HIV-1 in genital secretions may be opsonized by several molecules including complement components. (biomedcentral.com)
Molecular1

Vitro1
Another key observation we made in vitro was that cells pretreated with SLPI and washed prior to exposure to HIV-1 were still protected, whereas pretreatment of the virus with SLPI was not inhibitory. (nih.gov)
Particles1
Retroviral Gag proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the infected cell and assemble into virus particles that typically bud from the plasma membrane (PM). Expression of Gag proteins alone is generally sufficient for the assembly and release of noninfectious, virus-like particles (VLPs). (nih.gov)
Molecules2
Importantly, if SLPI's inhibition of HIV is, indeed, related to some cellular molecules and processes, these may ultimately provide a more stable target for the design of anti-HIV therapies than the elusive, rapidly mutating virally encoded proteins that form the basis for some current therapies and candidate vaccines, for example. (nih.gov)
Thus, these findings support the hypothesis that the activity of microbicide molecules against HIV-1 may be influenced by the opsonization of the virus. (biomedcentral.com)
Investigators1
Over the past decade, the absence of epidemiological evidence for adult oral transmission of HIV-1 has intrigued investigators. (nih.gov)
Oral2
Within the oral cavity, a small endogenous protein may be one source of this antiviral defense, which may account, at least in part, for protection against HIV-1 shed into the oral cavity or acquired through oral exposure (3). (nih.gov)
