COMPLETION OF HEPATITIS C VIRUS REPLICATION CYCLE IN HETEROKARYONS EXCLUDES DOMINANT RESTRICTIONS IN HUMAN NON-LIVER AND MOUSE LIVER CELL LINES.

Completion of hepatitis C virus replication cycle in heterokaryons excludes dominant restrictions in human non-liver and mouse liver cell lines.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is hepatotropic and only infects humans and chimpanzees.Consequently, an immunocompetent small animal model is lacking.The restricted tropism of HCV likely reflects specific host factor requirements.We investigated if dominant restriction factors expressed in non-liver or non-human cell lines inhibit HCV propagation thus ren

Biological Control of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 Using Natively Isolated Bacillus spp. YN0904 and YN1419

Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB) is the main threatening factor for banana production worldwide.To explore bacterial biocontrol resources for FWB, the antagonistic effective strains were isolated from banana-producing areas in Yunnan Province, China.Two isolates (YN0904 and YN1419) displaying strong antagonism against Tropical Race 4 (TR4) were identi
