Pneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملPrions: pathogenesis and reverse genetics.
Spongiform encephalopathies are a group of infectious neurodegenerative diseases. The infectious agent that causes transmissible spongiform encephalopathies was termed prion by Stanley Prusiner. The prion hypothesis states that the partially protease-resistant and detergent-insoluble prion protein (PrPsc) is identical with the infectious agent, and lacks any detectable nucleic acids. Since the ...
متن کاملReverse Genetics of Influenza B Viruses.
Annual influenza epidemics are caused not only by influenza A viruses but also by influenza B viruses. Initially established for the generation of recombinant influenza A viruses, plasmid-based reverse genetics techniques have allowed researchers the generation of wild type and mutant viruses from full-length cDNA copies of the influenza viral genome. These reverse genetics approaches have allo...
متن کاملTransgenesis and reverse genetics of mosquito innate immunity.
In recent years, mosquito molecular biology has been a scene of astounding achievements, namely the development of genetic transformation, characterization of inducible tissue-specific promoters, and acquirement of mosquito genome sequences. However, the lack of a complete genetic tool box for mosquitoes remains a serious obstacle in our ability to study essential mosquito-specific mechanisms. ...
متن کاملImproved and simplified recombineering approach for influenza virus reverse genetics
Typical reverse genetics systems for generating influenza viruses require the insertion of each genome segments by DNA ligation into vectors for genome synthesis and expression. Herein is described the construction and use of a novel pair of plasmid vectors for cloning all eight genome segments of influenza A virus by homologous recombination for influenza virus reverse genetics. Plasmids, pLLB...
