Zou, S. A practical approach to genetic screening for influenza virus variants.
Liu, R. et al. Susceptibilities of Genotype 1a, 1b, and 3 Hepatitis C Virus Variants to the NS5A Inhibitor Elbasvir.
Hepatitis B virus variants are clinically important and challenge the diagnostic tests and prophylactic measures.
The pyrosequencing approach also allows the detection of mixed populations of virus variants at positions of interest.
Virus variants were sequenced and plasmid-based reverse genetics was used to examine the effect of each mutation.
Four independently-selected H1PVAT-resistant virus variants uniformly carried the single amino acid substitution I194F in the VP1 capsid protein.
These can act against a broad spectrum of enteroviruses, but emerging resistant virus variants threaten their efficacy.
Pilot studies presented here confirmed that the drugs seemed to work as well against the virus variants prevalent in Africa and Asia as they did against the common strain in Europe and North America.
With Belcher's method, lab researchers expose about one billion virus variants to a material such as a metal or semiconductor, identifying and isolating the proteins that attach to it best.
An effective vaccine may protect the pork industry from economic losses and curb the development of new virus variants that may threaten public health.
Further characterization of these scFvs revealed that only scFv2 was capable of neutralizing the ZIM/7/83 virus and was used to generate neutralization-resistant virus variants.
