  • Knowledge of the clinical signs and risk factors for human B-virus disease allows early initiation of antiviral therapy and prevents severe disease or death. (cdc.gov)
  • Treatment with antiviral medication may decrease the death rate, but rapid diagnosis and initiation of therapy are essential in controlling the spread of the virus in the central nervous system and limiting neurologic sequelae. (cdc.gov)
  • Only weak antiviral activity of the CBAs was detected when administered after the virus attachment step. (unboundmedicine.com)
  • The CBAs exerted broad spectrum antiviral activity against the four DENV serotypes, laboratory-adapted viruses and low passage clinical isolates, evaluated in Raji/DC-SIGN(+) cells and in primary MDDC. (unboundmedicine.com)
  • Our earlier study has demonstrated that hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated cholesterol plays a key role in virus infectivity. (microbiologyresearch.org)
  • they are currently classified into polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) TaqMan assay for three antigenic groups: group 1 and 2 include mammalian quantifying the number of viral genomes and a plaque coronaviruses, and group 3 encompasses avian coron- assay for performing titration of the virus infectivity. (cdc.gov)
  • Previously-tested HIV vaccine candidates stimulated vigorous production of antibodies to the mutable segments of the virus envelope. (medindia.net)
  • Immunization with monoclonal antibodies against VEEV E3 provided protection for mice challenged by lethal doses of VEEV and suggests potential new targets for antibody neutralization, but it is currently unclear if E3 is retained on mature VEEV virus. (purdue.edu)
  • Arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) populations exist as mutant swarms that are maintained between arthropods and vertebrates. (cdc.gov)
  • If RNA is left exposed, the virus does not replicate efficiently. (wikipedia.org)
  • Interestingly, the lowest-risk species is the opossum, in which the virus does not replicate because of its low body temperature. (medscape.com)
  • Monkeys of the genus Macaca , which are widely used as animal models for biomedical research, naturally carry B virus. (cdc.gov)
  • The virus has been found in various mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, including Aedes africanus , Aedes apicoargenteus , Aedes leuteocephalus , Aedes aegypti , Aedes vitattus , and Aedes furcifer . (virology.ws)

  • A virus' life cycle includes five phases: adhesion to the target cell, fusion/cell entrance, multiplication within the host cell, assembly, and exit from the host cell. (articlemarketingnews.com)
  • This way is how viruses spread: attaching to and replicating inside the host cell. (articlemarketingnews.com)
  • Furthermore, the viral fluorescence intensities were inhibited by SPS in a dose-dependent manner when the viruses or cells were preincubated with SPS. (molvis.org)
  • Download the latest version of GeneTex's Virus entry into host cells flyer. (genetex.com)
  • These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage. (waccobb.net)
  • JEV relies on various attachment or entry co-factors to enter host cells . (bvsalud.org)
  • The susceptibility to JEV of 3A10-3F cells was significantly weakened compared with parental BHK-21 cells, verified by indirect immunofluorescence assay, virus plague formation assay, and flow cytometry. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We observed a significant decrease in entry of VEEV versus control Ross River (RRV) virus that does not utilize NRAMP2. (purdue.edu)
  • The first step in the HIV life cycle is attachment and entry. (uspharmacist.com)
