Molecular studies of the biochemical alterations involved in human myopathies have been restricted because of the finite life-span and slow growth rate of cultures derived from primary tissue. Because the tumor virus simian virus 40 (SV40) can alter both the growth properties and longevity of human cells, we have infected skeletal muscle cultures derived from four biopsies with a small-plaque v...

Viral capsid-nanoparticle hybrid structures constitute a new type of nanoarchitecture that can be used for various applications. We previously constructed a hybrid structure comprising quantum dots encapsulated by simian virus 40 (SV40) capsids for imaging viral infection pathways. Here, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are encapsulated into SV40 capsids and the effect of particle size and surface li...
