2. Viperin vs. tick-borne encephalitis virus : mechanism of a potent antiviral protein
Abstract : Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a very important virus medically, causing mild or severe encephalitis often with long-lasting sequelae. Treatment of tick-borne encephalitis is limited to supportive care, and antiviral drugs are much needed.The type-I interferon (IFN) system is the first line of host defense against many viruses.

4. The type I-E CRISPR-Cas system : Biology and applications of an adaptive immune system in bacteria
Abstract : CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems in bacteria and archaea, consisting of a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) array and CRISPR associated (Cas) proteins. In this work, the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system of Escherichia coli was studied.CRISPR-Cas immunity is divided into three stages. READ MORE
