background: autophagy suppression recently has been known to have a remarkable effect for cellular adjustment and viability in the final stages of cancer. on the other hand, autophagy has the potential effect in preventing many viruses from replication. beclin1 is the most substantial constituent in autophagy apparatus regulation. this study was intended to investigate the beclin1 sirna knockdo...

A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) for the detection of antibodies against vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey (VSV-NJ) and vesicular stomatitis virus Indiana (VSV-IN) was compared with the serum neutralization test (SNT) using 1,106 serum samples obtained from dairy cattle on sentinel study farms in the Poás region of Costa Rica. Kappa coefficients between the C-ELISA ...

J. Med. Entomol. 25(5): 343-347 (1988) ABSTRACT Field studies were conducted during an epizootic of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in Colorado to further assess the possible role of insects in the transmission of VSV. Insects associated with domestic livestock were collected at 11 premises along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado during the 1982 epizootic of vesicular stomatit...

Abstract Background Vesicular stomatitis (VS) is an acute, highly contagious and economically important zoonotic disease caused by the vesicular virus (VSV). There a need for effective safe stable recombinant vaccine control of disease. The human type 5 replication-defective adenovirus expression vector good way to construct vaccines. Results Three adenoviruses (rAd) were successfully construct...

objective: infectious microorganisms are major sources of illness and death worldwide, and the leading cause of death in neonates. effective vaccination of this age group is of particular importance. the lack of a response and greater susceptibility to tolerance are two major features that limit the effectiveness of vaccines in neonates. in this study we compare the cellular immune response gen...

We demonstrated that previous vaccination with a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-based Lassa virus vaccine does not alter protective efficacy of subsequent vaccination with a VSV-based Ebola virus vaccine. These findings demonstrate the utility of VSV-based vaccines against divergent viral pathogens, even when preexisting immunity to the vaccine vector is present.

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) forms pseudotypes with envelope components of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV). The VSV pseudotype possesses the limited host range and antigenic properties of REV. Approximately 70% of the VSV, Indiana serotype, and 45% of VSV, New Jersey serotype, produced from the REV strain T-transformed chicken bone marrow cells contain mixed envelope components of both VS...

Definitive diagnosis of vesicular or vesicular-like lesions in livestock animals presents challenges both for veterinary clinicians and diagnostic laboratories. It is often impossible to diagnose the causative disease agent on a clinical basis alone and difficult to collect ample vesicular epithelium samples. Due to restrictions of time and sample size, once laboratory tests have ruled out foot...

The inhibition of protein synthesis in L cells by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) requires the synthesis of new protein subsequent to virus infection. However, two mechanisms may be involved in the inhibition of cell protein synthesis by VSV: an initial, multiplicity-dependent, ultraviolet-insensitive inhibition and a progressive, ultraviolet-sensitive inhibition.
