Enteroviruses are common human pathogens associated with a wide spectrum of symptoms ranging from asymptomatic infection to acute flaccid paralysis and neonatal multi-organ failure. Molecular methods that provide rapid diagnosis and increased sensitivity have been developed for the diagnosis of ente
A human rectal carcinoma-derived differentiated epithelial cell line, HRT-18, was inoculated with faecal samples in an attempt to grow coronavirus-like particles (CVLP), which are widely prevalent in human stools in southern India. While CVLP did not grow in this cell line, a variety of enteroviruse
Three nested RT-PCR assays were developed to permit sensitive typing of enteroviruses directly from clinical samples. These assays amplified short fragments from different genomic regions codifying for three proteins: VP2, VP1, and RNA polymerase. Given that enteroviruses have a high rate of degener
A rapid, simple, and reliable method has been developed for the characterization and quantitation of ceramide molecular species directly from chloroform extracts of biological samples by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI/MS/MS). By exploiting the differential fragmentation patter
