Extractions: View enlarged image Scanned images are of West Nile virus isolated from brain tissue from a crow found in New York. The tissue was cultured in a Vero cell for a 3-day incubation period. The Vero cells were fixed in glutaraldehyde, dehyrated, placed in an Epon resin, thin sectioned, placed on a copper grid, and stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. The grids were then placed in the electron microscope and viewed. Total magnifications, image A: 65,625x;

AFRIMS: Virology: Research Projects Viral research information from the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences. http://www.afrims.org/viro-research.html
Extractions: Department of Virology: Research Projects Influenza Surveillance Service Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences (AFRIMS), Bangkok, Thailand is undertaking influenza surveillance with regional U.S. Embassy Medical Units. During the current novel influenza A (H1N1) outbreak, we will continue to conduct this influenza surveillance in which you can send respiratory samples to AFRIMS for influenza testing. Click here for more info on Influenza Surveillance Service Title: Prospective Surveillance of Febrile Illness for Dengue-Endemic Areas in Asia Description: Prospective multi-center cohort study in subjects aged 2 to 14 years in 5 countries in Asia: Viet Nam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines. The Department is assisting work in the latter two countries. While, no vaccinations will be administered in this study, it will serve to prepare candidate sites for CYD14, a Phase III dengue vaccine efficacy trial. This study identifies acute febrile episodes among the cohort in order to detect the presence of dengue infection and other causes of acute febrile illness, develops and evaluates operational infrastructure for potential Phase III dengue efficacy trial sites, and to describes the dengue seroprevalence among the cohort at baseline and at the end of the study.

Extractions: First, let me tell you what a virus is NOT. A virus is not a bacterium, nor an independently-living organism. A virus cannot survive in the absence of a living cell within which to synthesize copies of itself (replicate). Antibiotics do not harm a virus; it is for this reason that treatment for the "flu" for example, is mainly to help ease the symptoms of the illness rather than to kill the organism which causes the "flu" ( Influenza virus Please see: What the Heck is the "Flu"? Well then, what IS it? Now, is there a simple explanation which can define what a virus IS? Hmmmm... that's actually a tough question. A virus is not strictly alive.. nor is it strictly dead... A virus has some fundamental information (genes made of DNA or RNA) which allows it to make copies of itself. However, the virus must be inside a living cell of some kind before the information can be used. In fact, the information won't be made available unless the virus enters a living cell. It is this entrance of a virus into a cell which is called a viral infection. Too, the virus is very, very small relative to the size of a living cell. Therefore, the information the virus can carry is actually not enough to allow it to make copies (replicate). The virus uses the cell's machinery and some of the cell's enzymes to generate virus parts which are later assembled into thousands of new, mature, infectious virus which can leave the cell to infect other cells.

Virusys Corporation Specialists in the design and manufacture of virus related antibodies and antigens. A full range of laboratory services is available that includes infectious dose determination, viral protein purification and custom antibody production. http://www.virusys.com/
Extractions: Custom monoclonal (or polyclonal) antibodies from your antigen. We can even use an amino acid sequence from your protein to synthesize an epitope and develop an antibody to it. You will be using your custom antibody in your work before you know it. We currently offer rabbit, chicken, goat, sheep and llama in addition to murine monoclonals. All our work is documented online and available for you to monitor our progress. You can always see the latest experimental data generated on your project. Read more... Influenza A Virus NP Antibody Inhibition Test Influenza viruses can be divided into three classes, A, B, and C, largely based upon conserved antigenic differences in the internal nucleoprotein. Influenza A virus, typically encountered more frequently than types B and C, and associated with the majority of serious epidemics, can be further subdivided into strains or subtypes based on antigenic differences in the external hemagglutinin proteins (H1-H16) and neuraminidase proteins (N1-N9).
