  • In vitro and in vivo isolation and characterization of Duvenhage virus (2012)

    Authors:Koraka, P. (Penelopie); Martina, B.E.E. (Byron); Roose, J.M. (Jouke M.); Thiel, van P.P.A.M. (Pieter); Amerongen, van G. (Geert); Kuiken, T. (Thijs); Osterhaus, A.D.M.E. (Ab)
    In:PL o S Pathogens (Online), 8(5), 1 - 13. ISSN 1553-7374.

    Abstract:

    A fatal human case of Duvenhage virus (DUVV) infection in a Dutch traveller who had returned from Kenya was reported in 2007. She exhibited classical symptoms of rabies encephalitis with distinct pathological findings. In the present study we describe the isolation and characterization of DUVV in vi

  • Functional processing and secretion of Chikungunya virus E1 and E2 glycoproteins in insect cells (2011)Open access

    Authors:Metz, S.W. (Stefan); Geertsema, C. (Corinne); Martina, B.E.E. (Byron); Andrade, P. (Paulina); Heldens, J.G.M.; Oers, van M.M. (Monique); Vlak, J.M. (Just); Pijlman, G.P. (Gorben)
    In:Virology Journal, 8. ISSN 1743-422x.

    Abstract:

    Background: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne, arthrogenic Alphavirus that causes large epidemics in Africa, South-East Asia and India. Recently, CHIKV has been transmitted to humans in Southern Europe by invading and now established Asian tiger mosquitoes. To study the processing of env

  • A recombinant influenza a virus expressing domain III of west nile virus induces protective immune responses against influenza and west nile virus (2011)Open access

    Authors:Martina, B.E.E. (Byron); Doel, van den P. (Petra); Koraka, P. (Penelope); Amerongen, van G. (Geert); Spohn, G. (Gunther); Haagmans, B.L. (Bart); Provacia, L.B.V. (Lisette); Osterhaus, A.D.M.E. (Ab); Rimmelzwaan, G.F. (Guus)
    In:PLoS ONE, 6(4). ISSN 1932-6203.

    Abstract:

    West Nile virus (WNV) continues to circulate in the USA and forms a threat to the rest of the Western hemisphere. Since methods for the treatment of WNV infections are not available, there is a need for the development of safe and effective vaccines. Here, we describe the construction of a recombina

  • Plasma levels of inter-α inhibitor proteins in children with acute dengue virus infection (2010)Open access

    Authors:Koraka, P. (Penelope); Lim, Y.P.; Shin, M.D. (Michael); Setiati, T.E. (Tatty); Mairuhu, A.T.A.; Gorp, van E.C.M. (Eric); Soemantri, A. (Augustinus); Osterhaus, A.D.M.E. (Ab); Martina, B.E.E. (Byron)
    In:PLoS ONE, 5(4). ISSN 1932-6203.

    Abstract:

    Background: Inter-α inhibitor proteins (IaIp) belong to a family of protease inhibitors that are involved in the haemostatic and the vascular system. Dengue viruses (DENV) infections are characterized by coagulopathy and increased vascular permeability. In this study we measured the concentration of

  • A VLP-based vaccine targeting domain III of the West Nile virus e protein protects from lethal infection in mice (2010)Open access

    Authors:Spohn, G. (Gunther); Jennings, G.T. (Gary); Martina, B.E.E. (Byron); Keller, I. (Iris); Beck, M. (Markus); Pumpens, P. (Paul); Osterhaus, A.D.M.E. (Ab); Bachmann, M.F. (Martin)
    In:Virology Journal, 7, 1 - 9. ISSN 1743-422x.

    Abstract:

    Background. Since its first appearance in the USA in 1999, West Nile virus (WNV) has spread in the Western hemisphere and continues to represent an important public health concern. In the absence of effective treatment, there is a medical need for the development of a safe and efficient vaccine. Liv

  • Molecular and biological characterization of human monoclonal antibodies binding to the spike and nucleocapsid proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. (2005)Open access

    Authors:Brink, E.N. van den; Meulen, J. ter; Cox, F.; Jongeneelen, M.A.; Thijsse, A.; Throsby, M.; Marissen, W.E.; Rood, P.M.; Bakker, A.B.; Gelderblom, H.R.; Martina, B.E.E.; Osterhaus, A.D.M.E.; Preiser, W.; Doerr, H.W.; Kruif, J. de; Goudsmit, J.; Erasmus MC: University Medical Center Rotterdam
    In:Journal of Virology, 79(3), 1635 - 1644. ISSN 0022-538x.

    Abstract:

    Human monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were selected from semisynthetic antibody phage display libraries by using whole irradiated severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV) virions as target. We identified eight human MAbs binding to virus and infected cells, six of which could be mappe

  • Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection inhibition using spike protein heptad repeat-derived peptides. (2004)Open access

    Authors:Bosch, B.J. (Berend Jan); Martina, B.E.E. (Byron); Zee, van der R. (Ruurd); Lepault, J. (Jean); Haijema, B.J.; Versluis, C. (Cees); Heck, A.J.R. (Albert); Groot, de R. (Ronald); Osterhaus, A.D.M.E. (Ab); Rottier, P.J.M. (Peter)
    In:Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 101(22), 8455 - 8460. ISSN 0027-8424.

    Abstract:

    The coronavirus SARS-CoV is the primary cause of the life-threatening severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). With the aim of developing therapeutic agents, we have tested peptides derived from the membrane-proximal (HR2) and membrane-distal (HR1) heptad repeat region of the spike protein as inhib

  • Genetic characterization of the unique short segment of phocid herpesvirus type 1 reveals close relationships among alphaherpesviruses of hosts of the order Carnivora (2003)Open access

    Authors:Harder, T.C. (Timm); Osterhaus, A.D.M.E. (Ab); Martina, B.E.E. (Byron)
    In:Journal of General Virology. ISSN 0022-1317.

    Abstract:

    To further characterize phocid herpesvirus type 1 (PhHV-1) at the molecular level, a cluster of genes comprising the complete unique short (Us) region of PhHV-1 has been cloned and sequenced. Within this region, ORFs were detected that code for the equivalent of the Us 2- protein of herpes simplex v

  • Prevalence of antibodies against canine distemper virus among red foxes in Luxembourg (2002)Open access

    Authors:Damien, B.C.; Losch, S.; Mossong, J.; Muller, C.P. (Claude); Osterhaus, A.D.M.E. (Ab); Martina, B.E.E. (Byron)
    In:Journal of Wildlife Diseases. ISSN 0090-3558.

    Abstract:

    Canine distemper virus (CDV) has a wide host spectrum, and during the past years, distemper has been observed in species that were previously not considered to be susceptible. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of CDV-specific antibodies in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) sampled between May an
