Alphaviruses in gene therapy

K Lundstrom - Viruses, 2009 - mdpi.com
Alphaviruses are enveloped single stranded RNA viruses, which as gene therapy vectors
provide high-level transient gene expression. Semliki Forest virus (SFV), Sindbis virus (SIN) …

Packaging signals in alphaviruses

E Frolova, I Frolov, S Schlesinger - Journal of virology, 1997 - Am Soc Microbiol
Alphaviruses synthesize large amounts of both genomic and subgenomic RNA in infected
cells, but usually only the genomic RNA is packaged. This implies the existence of an …

Comparison of the effects of Sindbis virus and Sindbis virus replicons on host cell protein synthesis and cytopathogenicity in BHK cells

I Frolov, S Schlesinger - Journal of virology, 1994 - Am Soc Microbiol
Infection of BHK cells by Sindbis virus leads to rapid inhibition of host cell protein synthesis
and cytopathic effects (CPE). We have been studying these events to determine whether the …

Fluorescent protein-tagged Sindbis virus E2 glycoprotein allows single particle analysis of virus budding from live cells

J Jose, J Tang, AB Taylor, TS Baker, RJ Kuhn - Viruses, 2015 - mdpi.com
Sindbis virus (SINV) is an enveloped, mosquito-borne alphavirus. Here we generated and
characterized a fluorescent protein-tagged (FP-tagged) SINV and found that the presence of …

glycoprotein. Properties of the antibody important for downregulation of Sindbis virus …

Alpha/beta interferon protects adult mice from fatal Sindbis virus infection and is an important determinant of cell and tissue tropism

KD Ryman, WB Klimstra, KB Nguyen, CA Biron… - Journal of …, 2000 - Am Soc Microbiol
ABSTRACT Infection of adult 129 Sv/Ev mice with consensus Sindbis virus strain TR339 is
subclinical due to an inherent restriction in early virus replication and viremic dissemination …

Modifying the insect cell N-glycosylation pathway with immediate early baculovirus expression vectors

DL Jarvis, EE Finn - Nature biotechnology, 1996 - nature.com
The baculovirus-insect cell expression system is well-suited for recombinant glycoprotein
production because baculovirus vectors can provide high levels of expression and insect …

P Desprès, JW Griffin, DE Griffin - Journal of virology, 1995 - Am Soc Microbiol
Antibodies directed to Sindbis virus (SV) envelope protein E2 are able to control virus
replication in vivo and in persistently infected cultures of neurons in vitro. We investigated …

Development of an orally infectious Sindbis virus transducing system that efficiently disseminates and expresses green fluorescent protein in Aedes aegypti
