BA71ΔCD2: a New Recombinant Live Attenuated African Swine Fever Virus with Cross-Protective Capabilities

TL;DR: Inoculation of pigs with the deletion mutant virus BA71ΔCD2 protected pigs not only against experimental challenge with BA71, the virulent parental strain, but also against heterologous viruses, including Georgia 2007/1, the genotype II strain of ASFV currently circulating in Eastern Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

The C-type lectin homologue gene (EP153R) of African swine fever virus inhibits apoptosis both in virus infection and in heterologous expression.

TL;DR: The presence of gene EP153R resulted in a reduction of the transactivating activity of the cellular protein p53 in Vero cell cultures in which apoptosis was induced by virus infection or staurosporine treatment, to be the first description of a viral C-type lectin with anti-apoptotic properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

African swine fever virus EP153R open reading frame encodes a glycoprotein involved in the hemadsorption of infected cells.

TL;DR: The gene EP153R is needed to induce and/or maintain the interaction between the viral CD2 homolog and its corresponding cell receptor, and abrogated the hemadsorption phenomenon induced in ASF virus-infected cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antiviral activity of lauryl gallate against animal viruses

TL;DR: The overall results likely indicate that a cellular factor/function might be the target of the antiviral action of alkyl gallates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laboratory methods to study African swine fever virus.

TL;DR: Findings of comparative studies in different cells cultures susceptible to ASFV infection are summarized, through the analysis of virus components and infectious virus particles production, as alternative means to grow field and laboratory AsFV strains.
