| use of infrared thermography to detect thermographic changes in mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) experimentally infected with foot-and-mouth disease. | infrared thermography (irt) measures the heat emitted from a surface, displays that information as a pictorial representation called a thermogram, and is capable of being a remote, noninvasive technology that provides information on the health of an animal. foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) caused by fmd virus (fmdv) is a severe, highly communicable viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals, including both domestic and wild ruminants. early detection of the disease may reduce economic loss and loss of s ... | 2009 | 19569476 |
| development of a chromatographic strip assay for detection of porcine antibodies to 3abc non-structural protein of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype o. | a chromatographic strip assay was developed for rapid detection of serum antibodies to non-structural protein of foot-and-mouth disease virus. the assay was based on escherichia coli-expressed 3abc non-structural protein and an immunochromatographic technique, which shortened the detection time to about one hour. the sensitivity of the assay was determined to be 96.8% for infected pigs; its specificity was 100% for naïve pigs and 98.8% for vaccinated pigs. in the experimentally infected pigs, an ... | 2009 | 19578276 |
| hydrolytic properties and substrate specificity of the foot-and-mouth disease leader protease. | foot-and-mouth disease virus, a global animal pathogen, possesses a single-stranded rna genome that, on release into the infected cell, is immediately translated into a single polyprotein. this polyprotein product is cleaved during synthesis by proteinases contained within it into the mature viral proteins. the first cleavage is performed by the leader protease (lb(pro)) between its own c-terminus and the n-terminus of vp4. lb(pro) also specifically cleaves the two homologues of cellular eukaryo ... | 2009 | 19580333 |
| a long-range rna-rna interaction between the 5' and 3' ends of the hcv genome. | the rna genome of the hepatitis c virus (hcv) contains multiple conserved structural cis domains that direct protein synthesis, replication, and infectivity. the untranslatable regions (utrs) play essential roles in the hcv cycle. uncapped viral rnas are translated via an internal ribosome entry site (ires) located at the 5' utr, which acts as a scaffold for recruiting multiple protein factors. replication of the viral genome is initiated at the 3' utr. bioinformatics methods have identified oth ... | 2009 | 19605533 |
| expression of exogenous ifn-alpha by bypassing the translation block protects cells against fmdv infection. | foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) is the most contagious pathogen of cloven-hoofed animals. previous studies have demonstrated that type i interferons [alpha/beta interferons (ifn-alpha/betas)] can suppress fmdv replication and spread. conversely, fmdv can also inhibit ifn-alpha expression in infected cells by blocking cap-dependent translation. to overcome the blockade on ifn-alpha mrna translation during fmdv infection, we generated an ires-ifn construct that carries fmdv's internal ribosome ... | 2009 | 19607862 |
| multiple origins of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype asia 1 outbreaks, 2003-2007. | we investigated the molecular epidemiology of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) serotype asia 1, which caused outbreaks of disease in asia during 2003-2007. since 2004, the region affected by outbreaks of this serotype has increased from disease-endemic countries in southern asia (afghanistan, india, iran, nepal, pakistan) northward to encompass kyrgyzstan, tajikistan, uzbekistan, several regions of the people's republic of china, mongolia, eastern russia, and north korea. phylogenetic analysi ... | 2009 | 19624919 |
| bypass suppression of small-plaque phenotypes by a mutation in poliovirus 2a that enhances apoptosis. | the rate of protein secretion in host cells is inhibited during infection with several different picornaviruses, with consequences likely to have significant effects on viral growth, spread, and pathogenesis. this sin(+) (secretion inhibition) phenotype has been documented for poliovirus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, and coxsackievirus b3 and can lead to reduced cell surface expression of major histocompatibility complex class i and tumor necrosis factor receptor as well as reduced extracellula ... | 2009 | 19625405 |
| systematic study of the genetic response of a variable virus to the introduction of deleterious mutations in a functional capsid region. | we have targeted the intersubunit interfaces in the capsid of foot-and-mouth disease virus to investigate the genetic response of a variable virus when individual deleterious mutations are systematically introduced along a functionally defined region of its genome. we had previously found that the individual truncation (by mutation to alanine) of 28 of the 42 amino acid side chains per protomer involved in interactions between capsid pentameric subunits severely impaired infectivity. we have now ... | 2009 | 19625409 |
| [construction and identification of recombinant bhv-1 expressing foot and mouth disease virus vp1 gene]. | in order to construct the recombinant bovine hepervirus-1 (bhv-1) which expressed foot and mouth disease virus (fmdv) vp1 gene, we constructed a bhv-1 ge gene transfer vector by inserting the synthetic vp1 gene of fmdv (o/china/99) under the immediate-early promoter of cytomegalovirus. | 2009 | 19637579 |
| [construction and immunogenicity of recombinant adenovirus co-expressing the gp5 and m protein of porcine reproduction and respriratory syndrome virus in mice]. | fmdv 2a peptide was introduced as a linker between gp5 and m protein of porcine reproduction and respiratory syndrome virus (prrsv) to allow automatic self-cleavage the polyproteins. this strategy simultaneously displayed the neutralizing action of gp5 protein and cell-mediated immunity of m protein. we put them into the expression cassette of adenovirus vector. the results of rt-pcr, ifa and western blotting showed that gp5 and m protein were not only expressed correctly, but also self-cleavage ... | 2009 | 19637620 |
| [molecular design and immunogenicity of a multiple-epitope foot-and-mouth disease virus antigen, adjuvants, and dna vaccination]. | we designed and constructed a fuse expression gene oaat and staphylococcal enterotoxin a (sea) on the basis of the oaat designed and constructed which consists of the structural protein vp1 genes from serotypes a and o fmdv, 5 major vp1 immunodominant epitopes from two genotypes of asia1 serotype, and 3 th2 epitopes originating from the non-structural protein, 3abc gene and structural protein vp4 gene. the recombinant plasmids pea was constructed using sea as a genetic adjuvant. expressions of t ... | 2009 | 19637624 |
| [fusion expression of escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin b subunit gene and foot-and-mouth disease virus type o vp1 gene and immunogenicity analysis]. | ltb gene fragment was amplified by pcr from plasmid pmdtlt, and a recombinant plasmid petltbvp1 was constructed by inserting ltb gene fragment into vp1 gene expression plasmid petvp1 constructed previously. the recombinant plasmids were transformed into e. coli bl21(de3) and induced to express by iptg. the recombinant protein existed in the inclusion body and its molecular weight was about 39 kd proved by sds-page analysis. western blotting showed that the fusion protein could be reacted with bo ... | 2009 | 19637632 |
| highly sensitive fetal goat tongue cell line for detection and isolation of foot-and-mouth disease virus. | a fetal goat cell line (zz-r 127) supplied by the collection of cell lines in veterinary medicine of the friedrich loeffler institute was examined for susceptibility to infection by foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus (fmdv) and by two other viruses causing clinically indistinguishable vesicular conditions, namely, the viruses of swine vesicular disease and vesicular stomatitis. primary bovine thyroid (bty) cells are generally the most sensitive cell culture system for fmdv detection but are prob ... | 2009 | 19656987 |
| a multicistronic dna vaccine induces significant protection against tuberculosis in mice and offers flexibility in the expressed antigen repertoire. | concerns about the safety and efficacy of mycobacterium bovis bacillus calmette-guérin (bcg) emphasize the need for alternative tuberculosis (tb) vaccines. dna vaccines are interesting candidates but are limited by the restricted antigen repertoire that they express. traditional polycistronic vectors are large and have imbalanced expression. recent advances in molecular genetics and cellular immunology have paved the way toward the rational design of an efficacious vaccine. we exploited self-cle ... | 2009 | 19656992 |
| [establishment of colloidal gold-immunochromatography assay strip for detection of type asia1 foot-and-mouth disease virus]. | to establish a sensitive, rapid and simple gold immunochromatography assay (gica) for detecting asia1 type of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) from the field samples. the purified anti-fmdv type asia1 monoclonal antibody labeled with colloidal gold and the goat anti-guinea pig igg were wrapped onto nitrocellulose membrane as the test line (t line) and the control line (c line), respectively. the strip was then further optimized. a total of 87 field samples were detected. the results indicated ... | 2009 | 19670648 |
| production of fmdv virus-like particles by a sumo fusion protein approach in escherichia coli. | virus-like particles (vlps) are formed by the self-assembly of envelope and/or capsid proteins from many viruses. some vlps have been proven successful as vaccines, and others have recently found applications as carriers for foreign antigens or as scaffolds in nanoparticle biotechnology. however, production of vlp was usually impeded due to low water-solubility of recombinant virus capsid proteins. previous studies revealed that virus capsid and envelope proteins were often posttranslationally m ... | 2009 | 19671144 |
| [establishment of rt- lamp for rapid detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus]. | a rapid detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) was established by using reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (rt-lamp) method, meanwhile its specificity and sensitivity were assessed. the results showed that the fmdv rna could be amplified by incubation at 65degrees c for only 1h using six primers designed based on fmdv polyprotein gene and the amplification products could be detected easily by naked-eye. there is no cross reaction with other virus such as svdv, ... | 2009 | 19678569 |
| options for control of foot-and-mouth disease: knowledge, capability and policy. | foot-and-mouth disease can be controlled by zoo-sanitary measures and vaccination but this is difficult owing to the existence of multiple serotypes of the causative virus, multiple host species including wildlife and extreme contagiousness. although intolerable to modern high-production livestock systems, the disease is not usually fatal and often not a priority for control in many developing countries, which remain reservoirs for viral dissemination. phylogenetic analysis of the viruses circul ... | 2009 | 19687036 |
| extension of flavivirus protein c differentially affects early rna synthesis and growth in mammalian and arthropod host cells. | the translation of flaviviral rna genomes yields a single polyprotein that is processed into the mature proteins by viral and host cell proteases. mature capsid protein c is freed from the polyprotein by the viral ns2b/3 protease, cleaving in the c-terminal region of protein c in front of the signal sequence for prm. protein c has been shown to be involved in viral assembly and rna packaging. to examine further the role of protein c and its production by proteolysis, we replaced the ns2b/3 capsi ... | 2009 | 19692461 |
| screening and identification of b cell epitopes of structural proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype asia1. | the objective of this study was to screen and identify the b cell epitopes of structural proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) serotype asia1. the complete amino acid sequence of all the four structural proteins (p1 region) was analyzed using the dnastar protean system. seventeen peptides were predicted and selected as potential b cell epitopes. the potential b cell epitope genes were cloned into the pgex-6p-1 plasmid, then expressed and purified. the resulting 17 glutathione s-transfe ... | 2010 | 19699594 |
| foot-and-mouth disease virus assembly: processing of recombinant capsid precursor by exogenous protease induces self-assembly of pentamers in vitro in a myristoylation-dependent manner. | the assembly of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) particles is poorly understood. in addition, there are important differences in the antigenic and receptor binding properties of virus assembly and dissociation intermediates, and these also remain unexplained. we have established an experimental model in which the antigenicity, receptor binding characteristics, and in vitro assembly of capsid precursor can be studied entirely from purified components. recombinant capsid precursor protein (p1 r ... | 2009 | 19710148 |
| identification of rna helicase a as a new host factor in the replication cycle of foot-and-mouth disease virus. | foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv), as with other rna viruses, recruits various host cell factors to assist in the translation and replication of the virus genome. in this study, we investigated the role of rna helicase a (rha) in the life cycle of fmdv. immunofluorescent microscopy (ifm) showed a change in the subcellular distribution of rha from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in fmdv-infected cells as infection progressed. unlike nuclear rha, the rha detected in the cytoplasm reacted with an an ... | 2009 | 19710149 |
| different infection parameters between dairy cows and calves after an infection with foot-and-mouth disease virus. | clinical observations of a foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus infection in dairy cows and calves were different. this raised the question whether they would also differ with respect to virus excretion and transmission. data were available from transmission experiments carried out with groups of dairy cows and calves. half of each group was inoculated with fmdv o/ned/2001; the other half contact-exposed to inoculated animals. virus excretion, clinical signs and antibody response were measured and ... | 2010 | 19716326 |
| simple and rapid lateral-flow assay for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus. | a simple lateral-flow assay (lfa) based on a monoclonal antibody (mab 70-17) was developed for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) under nonlaboratory conditions. the lfa was evaluated with epithelial suspensions (n = 704) prepared from current and historical field samples which had been submitted to the pirbright laboratory (united kingdom) and from negative samples (n = 100) collected from naïve animals in korea. four fmdv serotypes (type o, a, asia 1, and c) were detected in ... | 2009 | 19726619 |
| structure and dynamics of the gh loop of the foot-and-mouth disease virus capsid. | the gh loop of vp1 of the foot-and-mouth disease virus capsid is important because it is a major antigenic site and an integrin recognition site. the gh loop is disordered in all x-ray structures of the capsid except for serotype o under reduced conditions in which the loop lies on the capsid surface. although the structure of the capsid-integrin complex has not yet been determined, the gh loop is known to protrude from the capsid surface when the capsid is bound with an antigen-binding fragment ... | 2009 | 19734079 |

| investigations into the cause of foot-and-mouth disease virus seropositive small ruminants in cyprus during 2007. | in 2007, serological evidence for foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) infection was found as a result of differential diagnostic testing of cypriot sheep suspected to be infected with bluetongue or contagious ecthyma. seropositive sheep and goats were subsequently uncovered on ten geographically clustered flocks, while cattle and pigs in neighbouring herds were all seronegative. these antibodies were specific for serotype-o fmd virus, reacting with both structural and non-structural (ns) fmd viral prot ... | 2009 | 19744234 |
| phenotypic and functional characterization of t-cells and in vitro replication of fmdv serotypes in bovine lymphocytes. | peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) from unvaccinated and vaccinated bovine calves were employed to study the alteration of different t-cell subpopulations, functional competence and detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) at different hours post in vitro infection (hpi) with fmdv serotype either o or a or asia1. the alteration in t-lymphocyte subpopulations was analyzed by flow cytometry analysis using t-cell subpopulation specific monoclonal antibodies at various hpi. all the t ... | 2009 | 19751690 |
| multiplex primer prediction software for divergent targets. | we describe a multiplex primer prediction (mpp) algorithm to build multiplex compatible primer sets to amplify all members of large, diverse and unalignable sets of target sequences. the mpp algorithm is scalable to larger target sets than other available software, and it does not require a multiple sequence alignment. we applied it to questions in viral detection, and demonstrated that there are no universally conserved priming sequences among viruses and that it could require an unfeasibly lar ... | 2009 | 19759213 |
| foot-and-mouth disease virus antigen detection enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using multiserotype-reactive monoclonal antibodies. | monoclonal antibody (mab)-based sandwich direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (msd-elisa) methods that can detect foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) antigens, both multiserotype (msd-elisa/ms) (for o, a, c, and asia 1) and single-serotype (msd-elisa/ss) (for o, a, and asia 1, specifically), were developed. mab 1h5 was used as an antigen-trapping antibody that reacted with all seven serotypes of fmdv. the mabs 71f2, 70c4, 16c6, and 7c2 were used as peroxidase-labeled detecting antibodies for ... | 2009 | 19759230 |
| genetic characterization of foot-and-mouth disease viruses, ethiopia, 1981-2007. | foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) is endemic to sub-saharan africa. to further understand its complex epidemiology, which involves multiple virus serotypes and host species, we characterized the viruses recovered from fmd outbreaks in ethiopia during 1981-2007. we detected 5 of the 7 fmdv serotypes (o, a, c, southern african territories [sat] 1, and sat 2). serotype o predominated, followed by serotype a; type c was not recognized after 1983. phylogenetic analysis of virus protein 1 sequences indicat ... | 2009 | 19788808 |
| rna nuclear export is blocked by poliovirus 2a protease and is concomitant with nucleoporin cleavage. | cytopathic viruses have developed successful strategies to block or, at least, to attenuate host interference with their replication. here, we have analyzed the effects of poliovirus 2a protease on rna nuclear export. 2a protease interferes with trafficking of mrnas, rrnas and u snrnas from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, without any apparent effect on trna transport. traffic of newly produced mrnas is more strongly affected than traffic of other mrnas over-represented in the cytoplasm, such as mr ... | 2009 | 19789179 |
| interaction energy analysis of peptide can predict the possibilities of mimetics by its retroinverso isomer. | it has been previously reported that the retroinverso analog of s peptide cannot mimic the s peptide, whereas the retroinverso analog of foot-and-mouth disease virus antigen can mimic the foot-and-mouth disease virus antigen. the structures of s peptide, foot-and-mouth disease virus antigen, and their retroinverso analogs are known. here, we have attempted to explain the structural basis of mimetics at the level of atomic interactions by elaborating upon the guptasarma's hypothesis. using intera ... | 2009 | 19811507 |
| development and laboratory validation of a lateral flow device for the detection of serotype sat 2 foot-and-mouth disease viruses in clinical samples. | a lateral flow device (lfd) for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) of the sat 2 serotype was developed using a monoclonal antibody (mab 2h6). the performance of the lfd was evaluated in the laboratory on suspensions of vesicular epithelia: 305 positive for fmdv type sat 2 from suspected cases of vesicular disease collected from 30 countries and 1002 samples shown to be negative for fmdv type sat 2 collected from 67 countries between 1968 and 2008. the diagnostic sensitivity of ... | 2010 | 19815031 |
| equine rhinitis a virus and its low ph empty particle: clues towards an aphthovirus entry mechanism? | equine rhinitis a virus (erav) is closely related to foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv), belonging to the genus aphthovirus of the picornaviridae. how picornaviruses introduce their rna genome into the cytoplasm of the host cell to initiate replication is unclear since they have no lipid envelope to facilitate fusion with cellular membranes. it has been thought that the dissociation of the fmdv particle into pentameric subunits at acidic ph is the mechanism for genome release during cell entry, ... | 2009 | 19816570 |
| development and laboratory evaluation of a lateral flow device for the detection of swine vesicular disease virus in clinical samples. | a lateral flow device (lfd) for the detection of swine vesicular disease (svd) virus (svdv) and differential diagnosis from foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) was developed using a monoclonal antibody (mab c70). the performance of the lfd was evaluated in the laboratory on suspensions of vesicular epithelia and cell culture passage derived supernatants of svdv and porcine teschovirus (enterovirus; pev). the collection of test samples included 157 which were positive for svdv (84 vesicular epithelial s ... | 2010 | 19819260 |
| detection of asymptomatic antigenemia in pigs infected by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (prrsv) by a novel capture immunoassay with monoclonal antibodies against the nucleocapsid protein of prrsv. | routine surveillance for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (prrsv) infections is crucial for the epidemiological control of this disease. antibody tests are widely used but cannot differentiate between vaccination and reinfection. we developed a prrsv antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) using well-characterized monoclonal antibodies (mabs) raised against the nucleocapsid (n) protein of north american and european prrsv. this antigen assay detected purified ... | 2009 | 19828768 |
| natural killer cell dysfunction during acute infection with foot-and-mouth disease virus. | natural killer (nk) cells provide one of the initial barriers of cellular host defense against pathogens, in particular intracellular pathogens. the role of these cells in foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) infection is unknown. previously, we characterized the phenotype and function of nk cells from swine (f. n. toka et al., j. interferon cytokine res. 29:179-192, 2009). in the present study, we report the analysis of nk cells isolated from animals infected with fmdv and tested ex vivo and sho ... | 2009 | 19828769 |
| immune response and viral persistence in indian buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) infected with foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype asia 1. | despite their potential role in the spread of foot-and-mouth disease (fmd), the immune response and viral persistence in fmd virus (fmdv)-infected indian buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) have been unexplored. we found similar kinetics of neutralizing antibody responses in the sera and secretory fluids of buffaloes following experimental fmdv asia 1 infection, but the lymphocyte-proliferative response in infected buffaloes was of low magnitude. despite inducing a significant systemic and secretory imm ... | 2009 | 19828770 |
| bola-dr peptide binding pockets are fundamental for foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccine design in cattle. | this large study investigates the associations between bovine major histocompatibility complex drb3 alleles and their binding pockets with the immune response to a 40-mer peptide derived from foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) vp1. a crossbred (charolais and holstein) cattle population (n=197) was immunised with the fmdv peptide and specific igg1 and igg2 responses were measured. eighteen different drb3 alleles were detected in this population, with several exhibiting highly significant associa ... | 2009 | 19833250 |
| [construction of an infectious cdna clone derived from foot-and-mouth disease virus o/qyys/s/06]. | after sequencing, we amplified and cloned foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) o/qyys/s/06 whole genome by three fragments. these three fragments were cloned into vector p43 one by one to construct recombinant plasmid p43c, which carried the full-length cdna of fmdv o/qyys/s/06. then, plasmid p43c and plasmid t7 expressing t7 rna polymerase were co-transfected into bhk-21 cells. after 48 h, we harvested the culture broth from transfected bhk-21 cells and inoculated into 2-3 day-old sucking mice. ... | 2009 | 19835137 |
| foot and mouth disease virus vaccines. | foot and mouth disease (fmd) is a highly infectious and economically devastating disease of livestock. although vaccines, available since the early 1900s, have been instrumental in eradicating fmd from parts of the world, the disease still affects millions of animals around the globe and remains the main sanitary barrier to the commerce of animals and animal products. currently available inactivated antigen vaccines applied intramuscularly to individual animals, confer serotype and subtype speci ... | 2009 | 19837296 |
| differential ifn-alpha/beta production suppressing capacities of the leader proteins of mengovirus and foot-and-mouth disease virus. | picornaviruses encompass a large family of rna viruses. some picornaviruses possess a leader (l) protein at the n-terminus of their polyprotein. the l proteins of encephalomyocarditis virus, a cardiovirus, and foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv), an aphthovirus, are both dispensable for replication and their major function seems to be the suppression of antiviral host cell responses. previously, we showed that the l protein of mengovirus, a strain of encephalomyocarditis virus, inhibits antivira ... | 2010 | 19863558 |
| studies on the physical and chemical properties of the virus of foot-and-mouth disease : i. description of the strain of virus used. titration and centrifugation experiments. | a strain of foot-and-mouth disease virus was recovered from a cow at the height of the disease, and was propagated through at least 261 passages in the guinea pig. considerably over 2000 animals proved susceptible to the virus, and the virus could be transferred at will back to cattle and hogs, and then again returned to guinea pigs. no natural immunity was discovered in guinea pigs. secondary lesions were easily and regularly induced, thus making this strain particularly favorable to experiment ... | 1927 | 19869281 |
| studies on the physical and chemical properties of the virus of foot-and-mouth disease : ii. cataphoresis and filtration. | cataphoresis experiments show that the virus of foot-and-mouth disease carries, under ordinary conditions, an electropositive charge. its isoelectric range is at the high point of ph = about 8. although cultivable bacteria are, as a rule, electronegative, yet certain protozoa, such as trypanosomes and spirochetes are also electropositive. in respect to charge, then, the virus is different from ordinary bacteria, but there is nothing in this finding to indicate an inanimate character of the incit ... | 1927 | 19869282 |
| statistical evaluation of sieve constants in ultrafiltration. | the partial retention of the disperse phase in the ultrafiltration of a monodisperse system through an isoporous filter is interpreted on a statistical basis, and a simple expression for the sieve constant is evaluated in terms of the calibrated membrane porosity and the particle size. curves calculated from this expression are in reasonable agreement with experimental data for the ultrafiltration of serum albumin, hemocyanin (helix), and foot-and-mouth disease virus. | 1936 | 19872986 |

| insights into cleavage specificity from the crystal structure of foot-and-mouth disease virus 3c protease complexed with a peptide substrate. | picornavirus replication is critically dependent on the correct processing of a polyprotein precursor by 3c protease(s) (3c(pro)) at multiple specific sites with related but non-identical sequences. to investigate the structural basis of its cleavage specificity, we performed the first crystallographic structural analysis of non-covalent complexes of a picornavirus 3c(pro) with peptide substrates. the x-ray crystal structure of the foot-and-mouth disease virus 3c(pro), mutated to replace the cat ... | 2010 | 19883658 |
| differences in the virulence of two strains of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype a with the same spatiotemporal distribution. | during the 2000-2001 epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) in argentina, two fmdv serotype a viruses were identified among others. since different pathogenic properties between these virus strains were noticed in cattle, we evaluated several biological properties and features of fmdv a/arg/00 and fmdv a/arg/01 in order to compare these viruses in terms of virulence and pathogenicity. our results indicate that fmdv a/arg/00 grows less efficiently than fmdv a/arg/01, exemplified by small ... | 2010 | 19883705 |
| the 5'-untranslated region of the mouse mammary tumor virus mrna exhibits cap-independent translation initiation. | in this study, we demonstrate the identification of an internal ribosome entry site (ires) within the 5'-untranslated region (5'-utr) of the mouse mammary tumor virus (mmtv). the 5'-utr of the full-length mrna derived from the infectious, complete mmtv genome was cloned into a dual luciferase reporter construct containing an upstream renilla luciferase gene (rluc) and a downstream firefly luciferase gene (fluc). in rabbit reticulocyte lysate, the mmtv 5'-utr was capable of driving translation of ... | 2010 | 19889724 |
| use of a baculovirus-expressed structural protein for the detection of antibodies to foot-and-mouth disease virus type a by a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) with a baculovirus-expressed structural protein was developed for the detection of antibodies to foot-and-mouth disease virus type a. it exhibited 99% specificity with a cutoff of 53% inhibition. its sensitivity was comparable to the sensitivities of the virus neutralization test and the liquid-phase blocking elisa, indicating its potential as an alternative assay. | 2010 | 19889938 |
| generation of full-length functional antibody against pres2 of hepatitis b virus in hepatic cells in vitro from bicistrons mediated by gutless adenovirus. | monoclonal antibodies (mabs) have been developed as effective therapeutics for a wide variety of diseases. delivery of mabs by gene transfer provides an option for overcoming the difficulties in mab production and manufacturing processes. however, for the polymeric structure of full-length mabs, it is important to design an optimal gene transfer system for mab generation. | 2009 | 19894780 |
| the region between the two polyprotein initiation codons of foot-and-mouth disease virus is critical for virulence in cattle. | to explore the role in viral pathogenesis of the region located between the two functional aug (inter-aug) in foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv), we derived viruses containing transposon (tn) inserts from a mutagenized cdna infectious clone of fmdv (pa24-wt). mutant viruses containing an in-frame 57-nt transposon insertion grew at a slower rate and had a smaller plaque size phenotype than the parental virus (a24-wt). a mutant virus containing a 51-nt deletion in inter-aug had a similar phenotyp ... | 2010 | 19896688 |
