Abstract

Human adenoviruses (Ads) are responsible for a substantial disease burden. Type-specific identification of Ads can help guide therapeutic and disease prevention strategies and aid epidemiological investigations. Immunotyping of Ads by serum neutralization (SN) is laborious and time consuming and depends upon type-specific antisera that are in short supply. A rapid molecular typing assay based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing of Ad hexon gene hyper-variable regions 1-6 (HVR(1-6)) known to contain type-specific epitopes was evaluated as an alternative to SN. Deduced amino acid sequences of HVR(1-6) obtained from all 51 currently recognized Ad prototype strains were well resolved, with the exception of types 15 and 29, which were identical. Of 192 temporally and geographically diverse Ad field isolates sequenced in this study, and 111 previously published sequences, all more closely matched their predicted prototype strains. Ads were also detected and correctly identified directly from 24 clinical specimens positive by culture or antigen detection. PCR and sequencing of HVR(1-6) offers a practical alternative to SN for typing most Ads and can be readily adapted for use in laboratories with molecular ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
