The key enzyme in coronavirus replicase polyprotein processing is the coronavirus main protease, 3CL(pro). The substrate specificities of five coronavirus main proteases, including the prototypic enzymes from the coronavirus groups I, II and III, were characterized. Recombinant main proteases of human coronavirus (HCoV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), feline infectious peritonitis ...

the aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence anti- e. coli, -rotavirus and -coronavirus, in calves' sera. a total of 184 calves under 1 month of age (84 diarrheic & 100 normal) was studied. serological tests including: direct elisa for detection of anti-k99 e. coli, - rotavirus and - coronavirus and tube agglutination test for detection anti-o157 e. coli, antibodies were used....

background: middle east respiratory syndrome (mers) is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus. after the primary onset of mers in saudi arabia, in september 2015 cases began to increase. the number of laboratory-affirmed cases by mers-cov in the middle east has been being increased recently. method: in this current review article, by using the terms “mers” and “coronavirus” we firs...

In several mammalian species, including humans, coronavirus infection can modulate the host immune response. We show a potential role of dendritic cells (DC) in murine coronavirus-induced immune modulation and pathogenesis by demonstrating that the JAW SII DC line and primary DC from BALB/c mice and p/p mice with reduced expression of the murine coronavirus receptor, murine CEACAM1a, are suscep...
