The template for paramyxovirus RNA synthesis is not naked RNA but the helical
nucleocapsid core of the virus, in which each nucleocapsid protein (N protein) is predicted to …

▪ Abstract Protocols to recover negative-strand RNA viruses entirely from cDNA have been
established in recent years, opening up this virus group to the detailed analysis of molecular …

How antigen valency affects B cells in vivo during immune responses is not well understood.
Here, using HIV immunogens with defined valencies ranging from 1 to 60, we investigated …

We assembled a DNA clone containing the 11,161-nt sequence of the prototype
rhabdovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), such that it could be transcribed by the …

Viral infection is initiated when a virus binds to cell surface receptors. Because the cell
membrane is dynamic and heterogeneous, imaging living cells and simultaneously …

In this issue of the Proceedings, Roost et al.(1) describe the development of humoral
immunity in mice infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). The authors sac-rificed mice …

Negative-strand RNA viruses condense their genome into a helical nucleoprotein-RNA
complex, the nucleocapsid, which is packed into virions and serves as a template for the …

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a bullet-shaped rhabdovirus and a model system of
negative-strand RNA viruses. Through direct visualization by means of cryo–electron …

Vesicular stomatitis virus is a negative-stranded RNA virus. Its nucleoprotein (N) binds the
viral genomic RNA and is involved in multiple functions including transcription, replication …

The mechanisms by which neutralizing antibodies inhibit Marburg virus (MARV) are not
known. We isolated a panel of neutralizing antibodies from a human MARV survivor that …
