In human and non-human primates, filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg viruses) cause severe
hemorrhagic fever. Recently, other animals such as pigs and some species of fruit bats have …

Filoviruses are a group of single-stranded negative sense RNA viruses. The most well-
known filoviruses that affect humans are ebolaviruses and marburgviruses. During infection …

Syncytin is a fusogenic protein involved in the formation of the placental syncytiotrophoblast
layer. This protein is encoded by the envelope gene of the ERVWE1 proviral locus …

The envelope glycoprotein GP of the ebolaviruses is essential for host cell entry and the
primary target of the host antibody response. GP is heavily glycosylated with up to 17 N …

Ebolaviruses constitute a public health threat, particularly in Central and Western Africa.
Host cell factors required for spread of ebolaviruses may serve as targets for antiviral …

The extensive glycosylation of HIV-1 envelope proteins (Envs), gp120/gp41, is known to
play an important role in evasion of host immune response by masking key neutralization …

Currently, no approved antiviral therapeutic is available for treatment or prevention of Ebola
virus (EBOV) infection. In this study, we characterized an EBOV-glycoprotein (GP) …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis represents a worldwide health risk and although macrophages
are primarily infected, dendritic cells (DC) are important in inducing cellular immune …

The HIV-1 envelope protein (Env) of early-replicating viruses encodes several distinct
transmission signatures. One such signature involves a reduced number of potential N …

The role of N-glycosylation of the three minor envelope glycoproteins (GP2, GP3, and GP4)
of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) on infectious virus …
