capsid - the outer covering of protein surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus virion - (virology) a complete viral particle; nucleic acid and capsid (and a lipid envelope in some viruses) protein - any of a large group of nitrogenous organic compounds that are essential constituents of living...
17 Nevertheless, even without detectable virus RNA in the brain parenchyma, signs of widespread immune activation were detected.18 The lack of convincing evidence for the presence of whole viruses and especially viral replication in the brain led to the hypothesis that virus-shed proteins circulating...
Roger Hull, in Plant Virology (Fifth Edition), 2014 a Structural Proteins Structural proteins include CPs of the small viruses; the matrix, core, or nucleoproteins, proteins of the reoviruses, tenuiviruses, and those viruses with a lipoprotein membrane; and proteins found within such membranes....
Protein1,5, peptide36 and small-molecule inhibitors37 have been designed to bind to the stem region of group 1 HA and neutralize influenza A viruses, but none recognize the group 2 HA. The design of small proteins or peptides that can bind and neutralize both group 1 and group...
variant proof’ vaccines directed at virus families32; however, until those are ready to be implemented, vaccine adjuvants such as co-delivery of IL-15 and TLR-Ls in DOTAP represent a simple and effective way to enhance the existing arsenal of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses....
Because NP is a highly abundant internal protein found in virally infected cells and believed to be buried within viral particles it is often overlooked as a target of therapeutic antibodies against viruses compared to glycoproteins, which are well-known to be exposed on viral envelop and cell su...
All these cases are non-eukaryote proteins. The ANK motif is known to be par- ticularly enriched in eukaryotes and within specific eukaryote pathogens (including bacteria and viruses) that use ANK-like proteins to mimic their host counterparts and proceed with the infectious processes15. The ...
So can viruses. So can tiny worms. Whatever the causative agent might be, it survives in the person it infects and is passed on to another. Or, its eggs are passed on. . (49) The asymptomatic carrier can then pass the disease on to someone else without even knowing he has it. Non...
Type 1 cells are involved in T cell–mediated immune responses, such as defense against viruses, whereas type 2 cells assist B cells in regulating antibody production. The differentiation in type 1 and type 2 responses is strictly regulated. In concentrations substantially below the antiproliferative...
has a molecular mass of 2–8 × 104. It is produced by treatment of type II withascorbic acidand is the type found in normal bovine vitreous fluid (Sundblad and Balazs, 1966). The viscosity of hyaluronic acid is dependent upon three major factors: the length of the polysaccharide chains,...
