Introduction to Modern Virology

Journal of General Virology – Introduction to ‘ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profiles’

The First ICTV Report was published in 1971, was 81 pages long and established 43 virus groups. Forty years later, the Ninth Report reached 1327 pages and described 87 families totalling 2284 species. The next Report will be even bigger but will no longer be produced as a book that has to be purchased – instead, it will be published online and made freely available to all. This will make it muc...

Virology and Molecular Medicine Session

Mutational activation of cytokine receptors has been described in solid cancers but has not been generally known to drive acute leukemia. We have recently described a subgroup of acute lymphoblastic leukemia characterized by an aberrant expression of the receptor to the cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). This receptor is a heterodimer of CRLF2 and IL7RA. In addition to its aberrant e...

Quantitative molecular virology in patient management.

The detection of viral genome (that is, viral nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA) has gained enormous importance over the last decade in the diagnosis and management of viral infections and diseases (table 1). Nucleic acid testing (NAT) has proven its superiority over more conventional laboratory techniques in several areas, for example: + for viruses that cannot be cultured in conventional cell c...
