Other than HSV-1 and Dengue virus, are there any other viruses known to interfere with mitochondrial DNA?

Reports have shown that HSV-1 UL12.5 protein degrades host mt DNA and Dengue virus NS2B targets cGAS for degradation to block IFN production caused by cellular damage and mt DNA leakages. I am...

Analysis of intracellular YFP protein in primary cells by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry of cryosections?

I am trying to detect EYFP signals from Ifnbmob mice (made by Richard M. Locksley, Univ of California San Francisco-HHMI) tissues. These mice co-express Ifnb1 and EYFP from the Ifnb1 locus. The...

Does someone have evidence to support that polyIC could induce antiviral innate immunity activation in vivo (animal models) through RLRs or TLRs?

PolyIC has been used extensively in in vitro experiments to mimic viral infection in cell lines. Can anyone please refer me to an article or publication/document showing that polyIC can be used in...

Trying to perform cloning using CRISPR/Cas9 kit but it seems as if the efficiency is very low with the kit or system. Has anyone experienced this?

CRISPR/Cas9 system is a system normally used by some microorganisms to repair DNA defects in their genome. This system is now used as an efficient tool for genome engineering. I am currently...

What is the difference between blunt-ended dsRNA and dsRNA with overhangs (viral RNA)?

It might just be a question of semantics but I would appreciate if somebody could help clarify this. Is the difference (only) the fact that overhang dsRNAs have unpaired nucleotides at the end and...

Should I remove an item from a scale to raise Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega or is it better to leave it if they are both over .7 already?

Hello! I have this scale which had 10 items initially. I had to remove items 8 and 10 because they correlated negatively with the scale, and then I removed item 9 because Cronbach's alpha and...

Famke Aeffner

Hi,

I published several papers using IAV (specifically H1N1) to induce ARDS in mice. If you look up the authors Davis IC and Aeffner F on pubmed you can find several papers. And obviously we are citing other research studies using this virus to induce ARDS/ALI.

Hope this helps!

Great! Thank you Famke
