lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus

Pet rodents are not known to be natural reservoirs for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

Old World arena viruses include lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, and Lassa virus.

As it turned out, the donor had passed along lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, a rare illness transmitted to humans from rodents like hamsters.

It shares this receptor with the prototypic Old World arenavirus lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

The scientist infected some of the animals with a relatively benign form of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus that primarily infects the helper T-cells.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)

Its causative agent is the Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV), a member of the family Arenaviridae.

The first arenavirus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), was isolated in 1933 during a study of an epidemic of St. Louis encephalitis.

Aseptic meningitis, a severe human disease that causes inflammation covering the brain and spinal cord, can arise from the Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection.

IL-21 (or IL-21R) knock-out mice infected with chronic LCMV (lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus) were not able to overcome chronic infection compared to normal mice.

The transplant recipients who died all received organs from a Rhode Island resident who owned a hamster that tested positive for the disease, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, or LCMV.

Health officials in Rhode Island said a hamster owned by the donor, bought at a Petsmart store in Warwick, R.I., tested positive for the rodent disease, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, or LCMV.

Unlike most enveloped viruses which use clathrin coated pits for cellular entry and bind to their receptors in a pH dependent fashion, Lassa and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus instead use an endocytotic pathway independent of clathrin, caveolin, dynamin and actin.

During the 1930s, he studied on a fel-low-ship at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in Prince-ton, New Jer-sey mentored by Richard Shope, performing research on vaccines and viruses, including pseudorabies virus and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCM).
