TL;DR: It is shown here that the N-terminal methionine residue is cleaved from the mature protein, suggesting a role of the cytoplasmic tail region of the M2 ion channel is to stabilize the pore against premature closure while the ectodomain is exposed to low pH.

TL;DR: In the context of this study with BVDV, the level of Mx protein expression in WBC provided the most telling diagnostic window to monitor the host's ongoing innate immune response.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis based on the nucleotide alignment of L1 genes or the amino acid alignment of E1 proteins of FdPV2 and 52 other PV types indicates that Fd PV2 might represent a new genus, and this study was to investigate three cases of BISC.

TL;DR: The continuous introduction of polioviruses into the community emphasizes the necessity for uninterrupted child vaccination to maintain high herd immunity.

TL;DR: The versatility of GFP is described, including labelling of glioma cells in experimental brain tumor models and neural progenitor cells by retrovirus vectors, and efficient, non-toxic delivery of genes to post mitotic cells of the nervous system using helper-virus free HSV-1 amplicon vectors.
