Pseudotyped Viruses
Pseudotyped viruses have been constructed for many viruses. They can mimic the authentic virus and have many advantages compared to authentic... -
Organ-specific genome diversity of replication-competent SARS-CoV-2
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is not always confined to the respiratory system, as it impacts people on a...

Design of Replication-Competent VSV- and Ervebo-Vectored Vaccines Against SARS-CoV-2
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a global public health emergency.... -
A qPCR-Based Method for Quantification of Replication Competent Adenovirus (RCA) in Conditionally Replicating Oncolytic Adenoviruses
Production of conditionally replicating adenoviruses may unfortunately generate undesired replication-competent adenovirus (RCA) which raises safety... -
A single dose of replication-competent VSV-vectored vaccine expressing SARS-CoV-2 S1 protects against virus replication in a hamster model of severe COVID-19
The development of effective countermeasures against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent responsible for the...

Replicating-Competent VSV-Vectored Pseudotyped Viruses
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is prototype virus in the family of Rhabdoviridae. Reverse genetic platform has enabled the genetic manipulation of... -
Pseudotyped Viruses for Marburgvirus and Ebolavirus
Marburg virus (MARV) and Ebola virus (EBOV) of the Filoviridae family are the most lethal viruses in terms of mortality rate. However, the... -
Pseudotyped Viruses for Influenza
We have developed an influenza hemagglutinin (HA) pseudotype (PV) library encompassing all influenza A (IAV) subtypes from HA1-HA18, influenza B... -
Type I Interferon: Monkeypox/Mpox Viruses Achilles Heel?
Poxviruses are notorious for having acquired/evolved numerous genes to counteract host innate immunity. Chordopoxviruses have acquired/evolved at... -
Self-Replicating RNA Derived from the Genomes of Positive-Strand RNA Viruses
Self-replicating RNA derived from the genomes of positive-strand RNA viruses represents a powerful tool for both molecular studies on virus biology... -
Metagenomic and Molecular Detection of Novel Fecal Viruses in Free-Ranging Agile Wallabies
The agile wallaby ( Notamacropus agilis ) is one of the most abundant marsupial species in northern Queensland and a competent host for the zoonotic...
