    Abstract : Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) cause respiratory illnesses, epidemic conjunctivitis and infantile gastroenteritis. HAdV types 40 and 41 cause enteric infections in infants worldwide. HAdVs use various receptors for attachment onto different host cells. READ MORE

  5. 23. Cellular and Viral Factors that Control Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Late Gene Expression

    Author : Monika Somberg; Stefan Schwartz; Sheila Graham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Virology; Virologi; Medical Virology; Medicinsk virologi;

    Abstract : Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is the major cause of cervical cancer. We speculate that inhibition of HPV-16 late gene expression is a prerequisite for establishment of persistence and progression to cervical cancer. READ MORE

  6. 24. Early host cell interactions and antivirals against ocular adenoviruses

    Author : Rickard Storm; Niklas Arnberg; Saw See Hong; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Viruses are common causative agents of ocular infection among humans. Epidemic keratoconjuntivitis (EKC) is a severe and contagious ocular disease with reported outbreaks worldwide. It is estimated that this disease affects 20-40 million individuals every year, which leads to huge socioeconomic costs for the affected countries. READ MORE

  7. 25. Viperin, a multifunctional radical SAM enzyme : biogenesis and antiviral mechanisms

    Author : Arunkumar Upadhyay; Anna K. Överby; Niklas Arnberg; Richard Lundmark; Michael Beard; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Viperin (virus-inhibitory protein, endoplasmic reticulum-associated, interferon-inducible) is an interferon-induced antiviral protein. It has three distinct functional domains: the N-terminal domain, the radical SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) domain for binding iron-sulphur cluster, and the C-terminus domain. READ MORE
