Detection of human antibodies to Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus using expressed viral nucleocapsid protein.
Diagnosis of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus infections is hampered by the problems of handling this human pathogen, which requires the highest levels of biological containment. Recombinant antigens were examined for their potential as non-hazardous diagnostic reagents. The nucleocapsid (N) gene of the Greek AP92 isolate of CCHF virus was sequenced from cloned PCR products and the...
متن کاملExpression, Purification, and Antiserum Production of the Truncated UL31 Protein of Herpes Simplex Virus 1
Background: The UL31 protein of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) plays an important role in the HSV-1 replication, however, its pinpoint functions in the life cycle of the virus have yet to be adequately elucidated. Objectives: An antiserum specific for detecting HSV-1 UL31 was prepared as the foundation for future research on the role of UL31 in the course...
متن کاملCrystallization of Sindbis virus and its nucleocapsid.
Crystals of Sindbis virus, which contains a lipid-bilayer membrane, have been grown using polyethylene glycol. The space group is R32, a = b = 640 A, c = 1520 A. The crystals are highly mosaic, and recorded diffraction is therefore restricted to spacings of about 30 A. The crystals show that the packing of glycoproteins E1 and E2 in the icosahedral outer shell is sufficiently precise that it pe...
متن کاملExpression, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic study of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) nucleocapsid protein C-terminal domain.
Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) belongs to the group II coronaviruses. The virus produces nine genes encoding 11 proteins that could be recognized as structural proteins and nonstructural proteins and are crucial for viral RNA synthesis. The nucleocapsid (N) protein, one of the structural proteins, interacts with the 30.4 kb virus genomic RNA to form the helical nucleocapsid and associates with the...
متن کاملProkaryotic Expression, Purification, and Polyclonal Antibody Production of a Truncated Recombinant Rabies Virus L Protein
Background: Rabies virus (RABV) is a deadly neurotropic virus that causes the disease of rabies in humans and animals. L protein is one of the large structural protein of rabies virus, which displays multiple enzymatic activities, and is required for viral transcription and replication. Objectives: A truncated L protein of Rabies virus is being cloned, expressed and purified to produce relevant...
