Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for detection of enterovirus D in a sample, particularly detection of enterovirus D68. The methods include contacting a sample with at least one primer (such as a forward primer and/or a reverse primer) capable of specifically amplifying an EV-D68 viral protein 1 (VP1) nucleic acid or a portion thereof and/or a detectably labeled probe capable of specifically hybridizing to an EV-D68 VP1 nucleic acid, under conditions sufficient for specific amplification of the EV-D68 VP1 nucleic acid by the at least one primer and/or under conditions sufficient for specific hybridization of the probe to the EV-D68 nucleic acid. The amplification of the EV-D68 VP1 nucleic acid and/or the hybridization of the probe to the EV-D68 VP1 nucleic acid is detected, thereby identifying presence of EV-D68 in the sample.
Abstract:
Antiviral protease inhibitors, including peptidyl aldehydes, peptidyl α-ketoamides, peptidyl bisulfate salts, and peptidyl heterocycles, are disclosed, along with related antiviral compounds, and methods of using the same to treat or prevent viral infection and disease. The compounds possess broad-spectrum activity against viruses that belong to the picornavirus-like supercluster, which include important human and animal pathogens including noroviruses, enteroviruses, poliovirus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, hepatitis A virus, human rhinovirus (cause of common cold), human coronavirus (another cause of common cold), transmissible gastroenteritis virus, murine hepatitis virus, feline infectious peritonitis virus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus.

For example, methods for using infectious nucleic acid to treat cancer, engineered viral nucleic acid, methods for making engineered viral nucleic acid, methods for identifying infectious nucleic acid for treating cancer, methods and materials for controlling virus-mediated cell lysis, and methods and materials for assessing the control of virus-mediated cell lysis are provided.
Abstract:
The invention provides antisense antiviral compounds and methods of their use and production in inhibition of growth of viruses of the Picornaviridae family and in the treatment of a viral infection. The compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of Enterovirus and/or Rhinovirus infection in a mammal. The antisense antiviral compounds are substantially uncharged, including partially positively charged, morpholino oligonucleotides have a sequence of 12-40 subunits, including at least 12 subunits having a targeting sequence that is complementary to a region associated with viral RNA sequences within a 32 nucleotide region of the viral 5′ untranslated region identified by SEQ ID NO:4.
