101. Hidden Killers: Deadly Viruses Basics about viruses, our bodies immune systems, information about specific viruses, and how these hidden killers could potentially be used as bio-weapons. There are also weekly/bi-weekly feature articles on various facets that involve viruses. http://library.thinkquest.org/23054/gather/index.shtml

Two types of vaccines have been developed for polio. One contains a dead virus. The other contains a weakened, but live virus. Which is the better choice? View awards we have won!

102. National Collection Of Pathogenic Viruses NCPV preserves well-characterised, authenticated human pathogenic viruses in a secure facility. The agents or nucleic acids derived from these viruses are supplied to the worldwide scientific community according to national and international guidelines. http://www.ukncc.co.uk/html/members/ncpv/ncpv.htm

Material supplied by NCPV will be accompanied by documentation including source and passage history, and evidence of identity such as appropriate antibody reactivity, or PCR or nucleotide sequence data, as the Collection develops. An incremental programme to make available non-infectious virus-derived materials such as DNA or RNA from purified virus or from infected cells, individual virus genes (in the form of PCR products or cloned DNA), and viral proteins is also under way. There are also plans for courses in laboratory virology and the handling of viral pathogens, which will build on the highly popular ones run by ECACC. The Collection is expected to be of benefit in the development and testing of vaccines and antiviral compounds, in the development and validation of diagnostic test systems, and in the conservation of biodiversity. Since the whole purpose of the Collection is to provide a service to the virological community, NCPV is very interested to hear from potential users. What would

103. Crahome.html Research group studying the mechanisms that HIV and retroviruses use to integrate DNA into human cells. Includes recent publications and current research projects. http://orac.niddk.nih.gov/www/craigie/crahome.html

Craigie Laboratory Our Laboratory is investigating the mechanism by which HIV and other retroviruses integrate a DNA copy of their genome into host DNA, an essential step in the retroviral replication cycle. Current research focusses on the structure and function of HIV integrase protein and the mechanism by which the cellular BAF protein protects retroviral DNA from self-destructive autointegration into its own DNA.
