The field of apoptosis is unusual in several respects. Firstly, its general importance has been
widely recognised only in the past few years and its surprising significance is still being …

African swine fever virus induces in convalescent pigs antibodies that neutralized the virus
before and after binding to susceptible cells, inhibiting both virus attachment and …

Cytokines stimulate inflammatory defenses against viral infections. In order to evade host
defenses, viruses have developed strategies to counteract antiviral cytokines. African swine …

We described previously an African swine fever virus (ASFV) open reading frame, 23-NL, in
the African isolate Malawi Lil 20/1 whose product shared significant similarity in a carboxyl …

Here, we show that the African swine fever virus 5-HL gene is a highly conserved viral gene
and contains all known protein domains associated with Bcl-2 activity, including those …

Apoptosis is a form of cell death distinct from necrosis which plays an important role in
processes such as homoeostasis and the elimination of damaged cells. It can be triggered …

Induction of programmed cell death has been described during infection with many different
viruses. We have investigated the influence of African swine fever virus (ASFV) on apoptosis …

The three-dimensional structure of mouse ribonucleotide reductase R2 has been
determined at 2.3 Å resolution using molecular replacement and refined to anR-value of …

African swine fever (ASF) virus is a large enveloped DNA virus assembled in the cytoplasm
of cells. In this study, the membrane compartments involved in the envelopment of ASF virus …

The major capsid protein p72 of African swine fever virus (ASFV) has long been considered
an important immunodominant antigen for serologic diagnosis. Here we describe the …
