TL;DR: This article describes the first identified patient with SFTS and a retrospective study on SFTS in Japan, which indicated that all of the Japanese SFTSV isolates formed a genotype independent to those from China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and epigenetic inactivation of tax gene in adult T‐cell leukemia cells
Satoshi Takeda,Michiyuki Maeda,Shigeru Morikawa,Yuko Taniguchi,Jun-ichirou Yasunaga,Kisato Nosaka,Yuetsu Tanaka,Masao Matsuoka +7 more
TL;DR: In ATL cases with genetic changes that could not produce Tax protein, the tax gene was frequently transcribed, suggesting that such cells do not need the transcriptional silencing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protease-mediated enhancement of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection
TL;DR: A possible mechanism for the extensive damage seen in the major target organs for this disease is reported, suggesting that the proteases produced in the lungs by inflammatory cells are responsible for high multiplication of SARS-CoV, which results in severe lung tissue damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of simian immunodeficiency virus from african green monkeys and seroepidemiologic survey of the virus in various non‐human primates
Yoshihiro Ohta,Takao Masuda,Hajime Tsujimoto,Koh-Ichi Ishikawa,Toshiaki Kodama,Shigeru Morikawa,Masuyo Nakai,Shigeo Honjo,Masanori Hayami +8 more
TL;DR: These HIV‐related simian retroviruses will be important in determining the origin and transmission of HIV group viruses, and may provide useful animal models for studies on the infection and pathogenesis of HIV and AIDS.
