The gene encoding the envelope glycoprotein of Omsk haemorrhagic fever (OHF) virus was cloned and sequenced. A freeze-dried preparation of infected suckling mouse brain suspension was used as the source material for viral RNA. The derived cDNA was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and
A series of synthetic subunits and analogues of streptococcal peptidoglycan was prepared and used in fever and tolerance experiments on rabbits. The lengthening of the chain of the peptide moiety of peptidoglycan did not result in pyrogenic activity, except for hexapeptide. Attachment of the muramyl
Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1 (S1) is the most common bacterial isolate found in shipping fever pneumonia in beef cattle. Currently used vaccines against M. haemolytica do not provide complete protection against the disease. Research with M. haemolytica outer membrane proteins (OMPs) has shown
The DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (DdRP or RNAP) is an essential enzyme of transcription of replicating systems of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms as well as cytoplasmic DNA viruses. DdRPs are complex multisubunit enzymes consisting of 8-14 subunits, including two large subunits and several
Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1 (S1), S6 and S2 are the most common bacterial isolates found in shipping fever pneumonia in beef cattle. Currently used vaccines against M. haemolytica do not provide complete protection against the disease. Research with M. haemolytica outer membrane proteins
The flavivirus West Nile virus (WNV) has spread rapidly throughout the world in recent years causing fever, meningitis, encephalitis, and fatalities. Because the viral protease NS2B/NS3 is essential for replication, it is attracting attention as a potential therapeutic target, although there are
Influenza A and B viruses are a global threat to human health and increasing resistance to the existing antiviral drugs necessitates new concepts to expand the therapeutic options. Glycopeptide derivatives have emerged as a promising new class of antiviral agents. To avoid potential antibiotic
METHODS
Since the last two decades, the incidence of invasive fungal infections has drastically increased. It becomes urgent to enlarge the panel of antifungal drugs with more potent activity and less toxicity. Since the target of all previously available antifungal agents is the synthesis of
Dengue virus (DENV), one of the members of genus Flavivirus is emerging as a global threat to human health. It had led to the emergence of dengue fever (flu-like illness), dengue shock syndrome, and the most severe dengue hemorrhagic fever (severe dengue with bleeding abnormalities). As Dengue
BACKGROUND
To facilitate the screening of large quantities of new antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), we describe a cost-effective method for high throughput prokaryotic expression of AMPs. EDDIE, an autoproteolytic mutant of the N-terminal autoprotease, Npro, from classical swine fever virus, was
