Advances in Tumor Virology

Transfer factor (TF) is a lymphocyte extract of low molecular weight capable of transferring antigen-specific information to T-lymphocytes. A number of reports have documented its efficacy in the control of acute viral infections, particularly those associated with herpes viruses. There have been also several reports of clinical trials utilizing Epstein-Barr Virus-specific TF in associated mali...

Advances in Tumor Virology

Avian tumor viruses are important, economically significant pathogens in the poultry industry, and can provide scientific insight in topics that cannot be experimented in humans. The present review will present viral-induced tumors in poultry and will emphasize the specific findings that can be taken from their study, regarding (a) multiple virus infections in vivo, (b) molecular interactions i...

Aptamers in Virology: Recent Advances and Challenges

Aptamers generated from randomized libraries of nucleic acids have found utility in a wide variety of fields and in the clinic. Aptamers can be used to target both intracellular and extracellular components, including small molecules, proteins, cells, and viruses. With recent technological developments in stringent selection and rapid isolation strategies, it is likely that aptamers will contin...

Virology

This volume of the Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology contains a wealth of information on the neural control of movement. Overall, the approach of the authors is to stress basic experimental data. Therefore, the book will be an excellent reference source for basic scientists as well as clinicians. The first chapters of the book examine the role of muscle in movement. These chapters discuss rec...
