Newcastle disease virus-infected splenocytes express the proopiomelanocortin gene
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infection of murine splenocytes with Newcastle disease virus results in expression of the proopiomelanocortin gene as determined by dot and northern blot analysis of total cellular and poly(A)+ cytoplasmic RNA. These data provide the first evidence that the precursor protein for adrenocorticotropin and beta-endorphin can be synthesized by lymphoid cells.

Cloning & Expression of F Protein Gene (HR1 region) of Newcastle Disease Virus NR43 Isolate from Iran in E.coli
Background and Aims: NDV (Newcastle Disease Virus) is one of the viruses that cause disease in avian with severe economic losses in the poultry industry in many countries. Fusion protein (F) which plays a major role in the virus pathogenicity contains several regions that have a role in the fusion process. Mutation in the sequence of HR1 & HR2 regions of this protein prevents fusion of the viru...

Background and Aims: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one of the major pathogen in poultry. Vaccination is intended to control the disease as an effective solution nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. F gene open reading frame (ORF) from NDV is 1650 bp, encoding a protein of 553 amino acids that can induce protective immunity alone. The F glycoprotein on the surf...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Virulent and Non-Virulent Newcastle Disease Virus Isolates Using RT-PCR
Newcastle disease is one of the main concerns of poultry farmers. Detection of virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has a great impact on control measures against the disease. In this study RT-PCR was optimized in high sensitivity in order to differentiate the virulent from non-virulent NDV isolates directly in tissue homogenates. The vaccinal NDV strain and known field isolates we...
