DROSOPHILA S2 CELLS ARE NON-PERMISSIVE FOR VACCINIA VIRUS DNA REPLICATION FOLLOWING ENTRY VIA LOW PH-DEPENDENT ENDOCYTOSIS AND EARLY TRANSCRIPTION.

Drosophila S2 cells are non-permissive for vaccinia virus DNA replication following entry via low pH-dependent endocytosis and early transcription.

Vaccinia virus (VACV), a member of the chordopox subfamily of the Poxviridae, abortively infects insect cells.We have investigated VACV infection of Drosophila S2 cells, which are useful for protein expression and genome-wide RNAi screening.Biochemical and electron microscopic analyses indicated that VACV entry into Drosophila S2 cells depended on

Animal products, diseases and drugs: a plea for better integration between agricultural sciences, human nutrition and human pharmacology

Abstract Eicosanoids are major players in the pathogenesis of several common diseases, with either overproduction or imbalance (e.g.between thromboxanes and prostacyclins) often leading to worsening of disease symptoms.Both the total rate of eicosanoid production and the balance between eicosanoids with opposite effects are strongly dependent on di
