Characterization of hepatitis C virus pseudoparticles by cryo-transmission electron microscopy using functionalized magnetic nanobeads

Study on hepatitis B virus infection using electron microscopy and gel diffusion techniques

Risk of Hepatitis C Virus transmission Following Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Background: Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) is a main health problem in our country. It is thought that the transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) through the endoscopic procedures is a rare event. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of conventional disinfection in the transmission of HCV. Materials and methods: A prospective study, comprising 456 consecutive upper gastrointestin...

Electron Microscopy of Fowl Pox Virus

Dissecting Virus Infectious Cycles by Cryo-Electron Microscopy

In response to events such as receptor binding and endocytic triggers, viruses undergo largescale, dynamic conformational changes necessary for cell entry and genome delivery. In later stages of the infectious cycle, replication machinery must read and synthesize nucleic acid strands to generate new copies of genetic material, and structural proteins must assemble and package the appropriate co...

Bacteriophage Morphological Characterization by Using Transmission Electron Microscopy

Bacteriophages or more commonly “phages” are bacterial viruses. They are ubiquitous and good indicators of bacterial contaminations since their prevalence is high in those environments where their hosts are abundant. Phage classification is based on morphology and for this reason, even though it is considered an old technique, TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) still plays a key role in the...
