Investigation of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Interaction with Host Cell Proteins and Associated mRNA Structures
Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) is a member of the Rhabdoviridae family that serves as the prototype for highly pathogenic negative-sense non-segmented RNA viruses such as Ebola and rabies viruses and for segmented RNA viruses like influenza. VSV has also proven to be an effective vaccine vector …

ASSESSING AN M MUTANT VESICULAR STOMATITIS VIRUS FOR THE TREATMENT OF GLIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORME BY DETERMINING APOPTOTIC MECHANISMS AND ANTIVIRAL RESPONSE
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a potential oncolytic virus for treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive brain tumor. Matrix (M) protein mutants of VSV have shown greater selectivity for killing GBM cells versus normal brain cells, compared to VSV with wild-type M protein. The goal …

CHANGES IN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO VESICULAR STOMATITIS VIRUS DURING PROGRESSION OF PROSTATE CANCER
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is an attractive oncolytic virus. Differing sensitivity to VSV oncolysis of human prostate cancer cell lines has been observed in previous experiments. The goal of my experiments was to determine the mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to VSV.

Suppressive effect of a nucleic acid-hydrolyzing recombinant antibody (3D8) on viral multiplication
… of 3D8 scFv against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) that belongs to RNA viruses in HeLa cells. When the purified 3D8 scFv was directly imported into HeLa cells by an electroporation and the cells were infected with VSV (MOI=10), significant inhibition against VSV multiplication and VSV-induced …

MODIFICATION OF VESICULAR STOMATITIS VIRUS G PROTEIN FOR TARGETED GENE DELIVERY INTO PSCA-POSITIVE TUMOR CELLS
… cell. The Vesicular Stomatitis Virus G protein (VSV-G) is a well-liked choice for pseudotyping the retroviral vectors since it confers on the viral particle stability to allow concentration to high titers necessary for the clinical applications. However, the main drawback of VSV-G, the …

Vesicular Stomatitis Virus as a Vector to Deliver Virus-Like Particles of Human Norovirus: A New Live Vectored Vaccine for Human Norovirus
… gene (VP1) of a human NoV was inserted into the VSV genome at the glycoprotein (G) and large (L) polymerase gene junction. Recombinant VSV expressing VP1 protein (rVSV-VP1) was recovered from an infectious cDNA clone of VSV. Expression of the capsid protein by VSV resulted in the formation of …

Investigation of the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Matrix Protein: Uncoating and Assembly
<p><em>Vesicular Stomatitis Virus</em> (VSV) is a simple, enveloped, nonsegmented negative-strand RNA virus and is the prototype rhabdovirus to study viral entry, transcription, replication, and assembly. The matrix protein (M) of VSV is a central component of the viral replication cycle. While …

Entwicklung alternativer Vakizinierungsstrategien gegen Masernvirusinfektionen im Tiermodell
… ein rekombinantes vesikuläres Stomatitis Virus (VSV-H) verwendet, welches das MV-Hämagglutinin (Hauptantigen für MV-neutralisierende Antikörper) in der Hülle von VSV exprimierte. Eine alternative MV-Vakzine muß die beiden MV-Glykoproteine (Hämagglutinin- und Fusionsprotein) enthalten, da sie …

Determining the Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses to Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Vaccine Vectors
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vaccine vectors have been engineered to express many different antigens. Studies in mice and nonhuman primates have demonstrated efficacy against several pathogens. A novel strategy to enhance VSV as an effective vaccine is to engineer vectors that induce innate …

Cellular Immunity in Mouse Models of Viral Encephalitis
… application of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) caused acute infection of the murine central nervous system (CNS) with associated morbidity and significant mortality in mice. However, VSV encephalitis was not invariably fatal, suggesting that the CNS contained a professional …

Formation of membrane domains induced by the G and M proteins of vesicular stomatitis virus
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) buds from specialized regions or domains on the plasma membrane of infected cells.
