objective(s): adeno-associated virus type 2 (aav2) vectors are widely used for both experimental and clinical gene therapy. a recent research has shown that the performance of these vectors can be greatly improved by substitution of specific surface-exposed tyrosine residues with phenylalanines. in this study, a fast and simple method is presented to generate aav2 vector helper plasmids encodin...

background and aims: the latency-associated transcript (lat) transcribed by latent herpes simplex virus type-1 in neuron cells are able to influence their host cell pathways. while the most of previous studies were focused on anti-apoptotic effects of lat, our investigation is making an effort to explore lat potency on cell cycle pathway in neuroblastoma cell lines. methods: the evaluation of l...

Introduction Genetic background has known to be associated with the outcome of human T cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) type I infection. In The present study we investigate the association between GM-CSF gene polymorphisms with the outcome of HTLV-I infection. Materials and Methods We analyzed 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promter region of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating...

conclusions this epidemiological study indicated different rates and transmission risks for these viruses. hcv was the most contagious viral infection and htlv-i was the weakest in the prisoners. apart from kshv infection which its prevalence was as twice as in the general population, the prevalence of hbv and htlv-i in prisoners was nearly in ranges of the general population. background prison...

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is an enveloped non-segmented, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus that Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is an enveloped non-segmented, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus that belongs to the Novirhabdovirus genus of the family  Rhabdoviridae. This virus causes economically significant diseases of farmed rainbow trout, in Turkey, wh...

Recombinant retroviruses containing the trans activator genes of human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) type II and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III were constructed. The trans activator genes tat II and tat III were inserted into the murine retroviral vector pZIPNEOSV(X)1. Recombinant plasmids were transfected into the psi 2 and psi AM packaging cell lines that produce murine leukemia viri...
