Transcriptome Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus-Infected Hepatoma Cells Following Stringent Removal of Genomic DNA
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a positive strand RNA virus that infects hepatocytes and reprograms cellular gene expression, contributing to chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV replicates slowly and induces limited change...

Current Perspectives on the Immunopathogenesis and Pathology of Small Ruminant Lentivirus Infections
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRVLs), including ovine maedi-visna virus and caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus, are considered genetically a single pathogen that causes a progressive multisystemic inflammatory disease. Continuous inters...

Annexin A6 Interacts with Newcastle Disease Virus Matrix Protein and Is Associated with Reduced Viral Replication in DF-1 Cells
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) incurs substantial economic losses within the global poultry industry. The matrix (M) protein of NDV is integral to viral replication. In this study, we examined the interaction between the NDV M protein and...

DNA Methylation Profiling of rAAVs Reveals Hypomethylated Genomes and Evidence for Predominant Packaging of Replicated Genomes
Immune responses to recombinant adeno-associated viral vectors (rAAVs) impair the therapeutic potential of gene therapies. One trigger for these responses upon systemic administration is the activation of Toll-like receptor 9 by unmethyl...
