24 The family Anelloviridae includes human and animal Torque teno viruses (TTV) with extensive 25 genetic diversity. The antigenic diversity among anelloviruses has never been assessed. Using 26 Torque teno sus virus (TTSuV) as a model, we describe here the first investigation on antigenic 27 relationships among different anelloviruses. Using the TTSuV1a or TTSuV1b ELISA based on 28 the respect...

2354. Torque Teno Virus (TTV) and Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) Viral Load in Peripheral Blood as a Biomarker of “Net Immunosuppression”: Factors Influencing Viral Load in Adult Patients Awaiting Solid Organ Transplantation Jutta Preiksaitis, MD, FRCP (C); Curtis Mabilangan, BSc; Yupin Tong, PhD; Catherine Burton, MD MSc and Simon Urschel, MD; Medicine, Infectious Diseases, University of Alberta, Ed...

In the process of searching for the recently described small anelloviruses 1 and 2 (SAVs) with the genomic DNA length of 2.2 or 2.6 kb in human sera, we isolated a novel virus with its genomic organization resembling those of torque teno virus (TTV) of 3.8-3.9 kb and torque teno mini virus (TTMV) of 2.8-2.9 kb. The entire genomic sequence of three isolates (MD1-032, MD1-073 and MD2-013), which ...

A new type of fluorescent sensor has been developed from a perylene based molecule, N,N0-dideoxythymidine-3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic diimide (TT-PTCDI); the strong, highly selective binding between the thymine ligand (T) and Hg ion enables efficient sensing of mercury ions based on a fluorescence quenching mechanism, which is primarily caused by metalcoordination induced molecular aggreg...

Torque teno virus (TTV) is a single-stranded DNA virus highly prevalent in the world. It has been detected in eastern Taiwan indigenes with a low prevalence of 11% by using N22 region of which known to underestimate TTV prevalence excessively. In order to clarify their realistic epidemiology, we re-analyzed TTV prevalence with UTR region. One hundred and forty serum samples from eastern Taiwane...

We investigated lower-extremity isometric tremor Approximate Entropy (irregularity), torque steadiness and rate of force development (RFD) and their associations to muscle activation strategy during isometric knee extensions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Thirteen male patients with idiopathic PD and 15 neurologically healthy matched controls performed isometric maximal contractions...
