We have formatted an assay to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infections of non‐human primates. Commercially available reagents were used to elicit a specific immune response that was measured by interferon‐gamma release. Initial evaluation using blood samples from Rhesus macaques experimentally infected with M tuberculosis distinguished infected versus uninfected animals.
Multiple novel simian adenoviruses have been isolated over the past years and their potential to cross the species barrier and infect the human population is an ever present threat. Here we describe the isolation and full genome sequencing of a novel simian adenovirus (SAdV) isolated from the urine of two independent, never co-housed, late stage simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected rhesus...
Vaccinia virus encodes at least eight proteins that incorporate label from tritiated palmitic acid when it is added to infected cell cultures. Three of these palmitylproteins are encoded by the A33R, B5R, and F13L open reading frames and migrate by gel electrophoresis with relative molecular masses of 23–28, 42, and 37 kDa, respectively. In this report we provide evidence that the A22R and A36R open...
Vaccinia virus (VV) encodes a 37-kDa envelope protein (p37) that is palmitylated on cysteine residues 185186 of the 372-amino acid protein. We have previously reported on a loosely conserved consensus motif. Further analysis has identified a conserved consensus sequence, Hydro*AAC(C)A(Hydro* represents a hydrophobic portion of a protein determined by any one of the following: a hydrophobic sequence,...
