• Study uncovers how herpesvirus spreads

  Herpesviruses are thrifty reproducers - they only send off their most infectious progeny to invade new cells. Two Cornell virologists recently have discovered how these viruses determine which progeny to release.The College of Veterinary Medicine researchers report in Proceedings of the National Aca more

• Researchers on the trail of a treatment for cancer of the immune system

  Infection with Epstein Barr means that the B cells, which are the primary memory cells of the immune system, are hi-jacked. When the virus has penetrated, researchers observe an excess of a special bio-antenna, a receptor known as EB12, suddenly sprouting from the surface of the B cells. But why the more

• Effect of the Potent Antiviral 1‐Cinnamoyl‐3,11‐Dihydroxymeliacarpin on Cytokine Production by Murine Macrophages Stimulated with HSV‐2

  The limonoid 1‐cinnamoyl‐3,11‐dihydroxymeliacarpin (CDM) isolated from leaf extracts of Melia azedarach L, has potent antiherpetic effect in epithelial cells. Since Meliacine, the partially purified extract source of CDM, has therapeutic effect on murine genital herpes, the potential use of CDM as more

• Cytomegalovirus Protease Targeted Prodrug Development

  Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a prevalent virus that infects up to 90% of the population. The goal of this research is to determine if small molecular prodrug substrates can be developed for a specific HCMV encoded protease and thus achieve site-specific activation. HCMV encodes a 256 amino acid s more

• Intrahost genetic variability of human herpes virus‐8

  Abstract Studies were conducted to determine whether HHV‐8 hyperactivity could be the consequence of the propensity of the host to multiple HHV‐8 infection. The aim of the present work was to investigate HHV‐8 intrahost genetic variability. HHV‐8 subgenomic DNA was amplified by PCR from patients more
