Coxsackie virus

To understand how molecular mimicry is believed to work, consider two people who are exposed to the common coxsackie virus.

During the 1960s, promising research involved in using poliovirus, adenovirus, Coxsackie virus, and others.

After four weeks, both groups were exposed to a type of Coxsackie virus called B3 that is normally harmless to mice.

Related Coxsackie viruses that cause heart disease in healthy mice have alterations in the same places, they said.

The Coxsackie virus family or rubella is implicated, although the evidence is inconclusive.

In this case, she carries only those fragments containing amino acids 15 through 30 of the coxsackie virus out to the cell surface.

Coxsackie viruses belong to the Enteroviruses within the Picornaviridae.

Coxsackie viruses are a non-phylogenetic group.

The Coxsackie viruses, which can cause respiratory illness and meningitis, are named for the town in New York state.

Viral causes include Coxsackie virus, mumps and adenoviruses.

They were able to culture Coxsackie virus from the tissues of many of the cases at all stages of this apparent progression.

Enteroviruses, such as Coxsackie viruses and echoviruses, live in the intestines of humans and other animals.

They followed a series of epidemics of Coxsackie virus infection in their part of France.

The fragments literally dangle in the cleft, telling the body, "Hey, I'm a foreign protein from the coxsackie virus.

About half of aseptic meningitis cases are caused by coxsackie virus or echovirus, two members of the enterovirus family.

Previously the syndrome was thought to be caused by Keshan disease, caused by the Coxsackie virus.

The B4 strain of Coxsackie viruses has been discovered to be a possible cause of Diabetes mellitus type 1.

Most adults in the United States are immune to many Coxsackie viruses because they were infected when they were young.

The coxsackie virus, Dr. Smithies said, usually causes a mild and harmless infection of children and young people.

Viral infection (coxsackie virus)

Cavatak is a coxsackie virus which is in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of malignant melanoma.

Then they infected the animals, in one experiment, with coxsackie viruses and, in a second experiment, with influenza viruses.

A virus called coxsackie virus B attaches to CAR, using it to invade cells in the pancreas.

The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane receptor for group B coxsackie viruses and subgroup C adenoviruses.

In addition to his research on polio, for which he won the Nobel Prize, Weller also contributed to treating schistosomiasis, and Coxsackie viruses.
