| design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship of pyridyl imidazolidinones: a novel class of potent and selective human enterovirus 71 inhibitors. | when skeletons of win compounds were used as templates, computer-assisted drug design led to the identification of a novel series of imidazolidinone derivatives with significant antiviral activity against enterovirus 71 (ev 71), the infection of which had resulted in about 80 fatalities during the 1998 epidemic outbreak in taiwan. in addition to inhibiting all the genotypes (a, b, and c) of ev 71 in the submicromolar to low micromolar range, compounds 1 and 8 were extensively evaluated against a ... | 2002 | 11931618 |
| molecular analysis of the echovirus 18 prototype: evidence of interserotypic recombination with echovirus 9. | echovirus 18 (ev18) is one of the echovirus serotypes associated with human diseases and in particular aseptic meningitis. to facilitate studies of the molecular epidemiology of ev18 and the evolution of enteroviruses in general, the complete nucleotide (nt) sequence was determined for the echovirus 18 prototype strain (metcalf, ev18m). excluding the poly a sequence, the genome consists of 7410 nt divided into a 740 nt 5' untranslated region (5' utr), a 6567 nt long open reading frame coding for ... | 2002 | 11955640 |
| functional impairment and killing of human beta cells by enteroviruses: the capacity is shared by a wide range of serotypes, but the extent is a characteristic of individual virus strains. | direct infection of beta cells could explain the diabetogenic effect of enteroviruses. primary adult human beta cells are susceptible to coxsackievirus infections, which could result in impaired beta-cell function or cell death (coxsackieviruses b3, b4, b5) or both, or no apparent immediate adverse effects (coxsackievirus a9). we extended these studies to additional enterovirus serotypes including several echoviruses, some of which have been associated clinically with the development of type i ( ... | 2002 | 12107750 |

| molecular and biological analysis of echovirus 9 strain isolated from a diabetic child. | the full-length infectious cdna clone was constructed and sequenced from the strain dm of echovirus 9, which was recently isolated from a 6-week-old child at the clinical onset of type 1 diabetes. parallel with the isolate dm, the full-length infectious cdna clone of the prototype strain echovirus 9 barty (barty-inf), was constructed and sequenced. genetic relationships of the sequenced echo 9 viruses to the other members of the human enterovirus type b species were studied by phylogenetic analy ... | 2003 | 12601761 |
| developmental distribution of coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor localized in the nervous system. | mouse coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor (mcar), which was isolated from the nerve growth cone-enriched fraction of newborn mouse brains, is a member of immunoglobulin-super family, and functions as a homophilic adhesion molecule. we observed the expression of mcar in embryos to adult tissues by means of immunohistochemical analysis with a peptide antibody. mcar expression was first detected in the embryonic ectoderm in the uterus on embryonic day 6.5 (e6.5). then it was strongly expressed ... | 2003 | 12763576 |
| deletion of pe38 attenuates acmnpv genome replication, budded virus production, and virulence in heliothis virescens. | the pe38 gene product of autographa californica m nucleopolyhedrovirus (acmnpv) has been shown to be involved in transcriptionally transactivating viral genes and augmenting viral dna replication in transient assays. to assess the role of pe38 during infection, we generated a knockout virus, delta pe38-e9/e9, in which the pe38 open reading frame was replaced with that of the green fluorescent protein. we compared mutant and wild-type (wt) viral replication in insect cell culture and virulence in ... | 2003 | 12781710 |
| expression of transgenes in primary neurons from chick peripheral and central nervous systems by retroviral infection of early embryos. | many cell biological studies require the expression of transgenes in cells in culture, but it is difficult to obtain uniform, stable, and efficient expression of transgenes in primary neurons. we have approached this problem by adapting from developmental biologists the avian retroviral vector, rcas. this vector allows the introduction of a transgene by infection early in chick embryonic development. transgenes that are less than 2.6 kb in size can be cloned through an adapter vector, slax 12 nc ... | 2003 | 12884700 |
| outbreaks of aseptic meningitis associated with echoviruses 9 and 30 and preliminary surveillance reports on enterovirus activity--united states, 2003. | aseptic or viral meningitis is the most common type of meningitis and is associated with an estimated 26,000--42,000 hospitalizations each year in the united states. enteroviruses are the most common cause of aseptic meningitis. echovirus 9 (e9) and echovirus 30 (e30) have been associated frequently with outbreaks of aseptic meningitis. during march 2003, several state public health departments noted increased reports of aseptic meningitis and, as of august 7, seven states (arizona, california, ... | 2003 | 12917581 |
| raxl regulates chick ganglion cell development. | raxl is a paired-like homeobox gene involved in vertebrate eye morphogenesis. we examined raxl protein expression patterns during chick retinal development in combination with ganglion cell markers including the ra4 antigen, cbrn-3, islet-1 and neuronal type iii beta-tubulin. double-immunostaining demonstrated that downregulation of raxl protein correlates with upregulation of ganglion cell markers in the ganglion cell layer (gcl). to explore this correlation in vivo, we performed gain- and loss ... | 2003 | 12963109 |
