The purpose of this work was to elucidate the pathogenesis of attenuated Junin virus (JV) strains in the guinea pig model. Three groups of guinea pigs were infected by the IM route with lo3 PFU of the XJC13 and XJO-attenuated strains or with the XJ pathogenic strain of JV, respectively. Viremia was
To assess the usefulness of the South American primate Cebus apella as a model for neurovirulence of Junín virus, eight monkeys were inoculated with 10(5) LD50 of the attenuated XJ-Clone 3 Junín virus strain by the intrathalamic route. After the second week, weight loss and polyadenopathies were obs
A striking association has been demonstrated recently between mutations in amino acid residues 2209-2248 of the nonstructural protein 5a (NS5a) region of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and sustained responses to interferon in Japanese patients infected with genotype 1b. Therefore, analysis of this sequence
A region associated with sensitivity to interferon (IFN) has been identified previously in the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. A study was undertaken to determine whether the presence of mutations in the NS5A 2209-2248 sequence could serve as a predictor of re
