| neonatal sex steroids affect responses to seoul virus infection in male but not female norway rats. | previous studies illustrate that after inoculation with seoul virus (i.e., the naturally occurring hantavirus found in norway rats), adult male rats produce higher antibody responses, exhibit higher th1 responses (i.e., igg2a, il-2, and ifn gamma), and shed virus longer than females, but these difference are not altered by manipulation of sex steroids in adulthood. to determine whether sex steroid hormones organize adult responses to hantavirus infection, at 2-4 days of age, male rats were gonad ... | 2002 | 12480503 |
| the multimerization of hantavirus nucleocapsid protein depends on type-specific epitopes. | multimerization of the hantaan virus nucleocapsid protein (np) in hantaan virus-infected vero e6 cells was observed in a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). recombinant and truncated nps of hantaan, seoul, and dobrava viruses lacking the n-terminal 49 amino acids were also detected as multimers. although truncated nps of hantaan virus lacking the n-terminal 154 amino acids existed as a monomer, those of seoul and dobrava formed multimers. the multimerized truncated np antigens ... | 2003 | 12502810 |
