1. Genetic and serologic characterization of a Swedish human hantavirus isolate
Abstract : Hantaviruses are found practically all over the world and cause hemorrhagic fevers in man. Each year about 150,000 people are hospitalized in these zoonotic infections which can be of two types: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), depending on the infecting virus.

2. Molecular characterization of the hepatitis C virus core protein
Abstract : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an RNA virus that causes chronic infection, which can lead to hepatocellular carcinomas in humans. Besides liver diseases, the chronic HCV infection causes a broad spectrum of extrahepatic complications such as lymphoproliferative, metabolic and autoimmune disorders. READ MORE

3. Protein interactions involved in alphavirus assembly
Abstract : Viruses have to protect their genomes during transport from the infected to an uninfected host cell. This is achieved by forming a protein shell around the nucleic acid. Virus assembly is a complex process that involves interactions with the viral genome, the viral structural proteins and for enveloped viruses a lipid membrane. READ MORE

4. Viral dUTPases, Recombinant Expression, Purification and Characterization
Abstract : The enzyme deoxyuridine 5’-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase, EC 3.6.1.23) catalyzes the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP and pyrophosphate. READ MORE

5. The role of the capsid protein in Semliki Forest virus assembly
Abstract : Enveloped viruses, like the Alphaviruses, encapsidate their genomes into a nucleocapsid (NC) or core structure which is surrounded by a lipid bilayer (envelope) with spike proteins. The alphavirus Semliki Forest virus (SFV), is an RNA virus with a genomic 42 S RNA of positive polarity. READ MORE
