Dengue fever is a widespread infectious disease caused by viruses and responsible for millions of cases per year. One the key steps during infection fusion between cell membrane lipidic bilayer virus, done glycoprotein envelope. At tip envelope there peptide widely conserved among four known virus serotypes. Here dengue peptides were studied in buffer solution interacting with model membranes u...

We previously reported that truncation of the cytoplasmic domain of the macaque simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239 envelope glycoprotein enhanced its ability to induce cell fusion in a variety of cell lines. In the present study, we examined the expression of the full-length and truncated SIVmac239 envelope glycoprotein complex on cell surfaces. Using a membrane-impermeable reagent to biot...
