Aim: Understanding immunopathogenesis of hepatitis-B virus (HBV) infection is pivotal in the management of complications. The aim of the study is to investigate the association of IgG4 levels with the liver fibrosis. Methods: Histological evaluation of ...

Aim: We examined the possibility of tracing the origins of cadavers based on the geographic distribution of genotypes of the latent human herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Materials & methods: PCR of the V1 region (667 bp) was performed using DNA from ...

Nucleotide sequences of HIV isolates are obtained routinely to evaluate the presence of resistance mutations to antiretroviral drugs. But, beyond their clinical use, these and other viral sequences include a wealth of information that can be used to ...

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) refer to the covalent modifications of polypeptides after they are synthesized, adding temporal and spatial regulation to modulate protein functions. Being obligate intracellular parasites, viruses rely on the ...

Alpha herpesviruses are common pathogens of mammals. They establish a productive infection in many cell types, but a life-long latent infection occurs in PNS neurons. A vast majority of the human population has latent HSV-1 infections. Currently, there is ...
