Porcine circovirus (PCV) is a single-stranded DNA virus (class II), that is nonenveloped with an unsegmented circular genome.[1] The viral capsid is icosahedral and approximately 17 nm in diameter....
The process of finding a new drug against a chosen target for a particular disease usually involves high-throughput screening (HTS), wherein large libraries of chemicals are tested for their abilit...

Neuregulin 1 or NRG1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NRG1 gene.[1][2] NRG1 is one of four proteins in the neuregulin family that act on the EGFR family of receptors. Neuregulin 1 is p...
A carbohydrate is a biological molecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words, with the empiric...
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small virus which infects humans and some other primate species. AAV is not currently known to cause disease. The virus causes a very mild immune response, lending...
Immunostimulatory oligonucleotides
Antimicrobial peptides (also called host defense peptides) are part of the innate immune response and are found among all classes of life. Fundamental differences exist between prokaryotic and euka...

Trans-splicing is a special form of RNA processing in eukaryotes where exons from two different primary RNA transcripts are joined end to end and ligated. Whereas "normal" (cis-)splicing process...
Interferons (IFNs) are a group of signaling proteins[1] made and released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, or tumor cells. In a typical ...
