Baculovirus-mediated immediate-early gene expression and nuclear reorganization in human cells

2007

Baculovirus, Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), has the ability to transduce mammalian cell lines without replication. The general objective of this study was to detect the transcription and expression of viral immediate-early genes in human cells and to examine the interactions between viral components and subnuclear structures. Viral capsids were seen in large, discrete foci in nuclei of both dividing and non-dividing human cells. Concurrently, the transcription of viral immediate-early transregulator genes (ie-1, ie-2) and translation of IE-2 protein were detected. Quantitative microscopy imaging and analysis showed that virus transduction altered the size of …

A short introduction to papillomavirus biology.

2003

In this report, the tropism of papillomaviruses, the structure of virions, the function of viral proteins and the use of pseudovirions for the analysis of the immune response against papillomaviruses and the search for the viral receptor are briefly described.
