Molecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of Neuraminidase Gene in A/H1N1 Influenza Virus Isolates Circulating in Iran, 2014-2015.
Objectives: Influenza is one of the most important emerging and reemerging infectious diseases in the world. The aim of this study is molecular and phylogenetic analyses of the variations in circulating influenza A/H1N1 virus isolates during 2014-2015 in Iran and investigate on the drug resistance conditions in the related Iranian isolates. Material and Methods: Throat samples from Iranian pat...
متن کاملInfluenza Virus Neuraminidase: Structure and Function
The structure of the influenza virus neuraminidases, the spatial organization of their active site, the mechanism of carbohydrate chains desialylation by neuraminidase, and its role in the influenza virus function at different stages of the viral infectious cycle are considered in this review. Data on the neuraminidase substrate specificity and different approaches in studying the activity of t...
متن کاملInfluenza virus neuraminidase.
Antiserum specific for influenza A2 neuraminidase was produced by immunization of rabbits with the purified enzyme which had been isolated by electrophoresis from the proteins of a detergent-disrupted AoA2 influenza virus recombinant [X-7 (Fl)]. This recombinant contained hemagglutinin of the Ao subtype and A2 neuraminidase. Antiserum to the isolated A2 neuraminidase did not react in any of fou...
متن کاملBaculoviral Expression of Influenza A Virus (H1N1 New Caledonia) Neuraminidase in Insect Cells
Background and Aims: Each year, the influenza virus causes moderate to severe infections with a high prevalence throughout the world. Accordingly, an influenza vaccine that ensures protection with only a single dose would be a much more cost effective approach to influenza prophylaxis. Generation of Influenza non-replicating virus-like particles (VLP) in baculoviral expression system is an attr...
متن کاملStructure Optimization of Neuraminidase Inhibitors as Potential Anti-influenza (H1N1Inhibitors) Agents Using QSAR and Molecular Docking Studies
The urgent need of neuraminidase inhibitors (NI) has provided an impetus for understanding the structure requisite at molecular level. Our search for selective inhibitors of neuraminidase has led to the identification of pharmacophoric requirements at various positions around acyl thiourea pharmacophore. The main objective of present study is to develop selective NI, with least toxicity and dru...
