Objective: To investigate the killing effects of VP(3) on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2.
Methods: Plasmid expression vector pcDNA3.1(-) CMV.VP(3)-His was constructed and identified by Kpn I/EcoR I endonuclease analysis, and then sequenced to verify successful insertion in the sense direction of VP(3) gene. pcDNA3.1(-) CMV.VP(3)-His and pcDNA3.1(-)-His expression plasmid was transiently transfected into nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2 . VP(3) protein expression was detected by Western blotting. MTT assay was used to determine the killing effects of VP(3) gene on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2.
Results: Endonuclease analysis and sequencing confirmed the recombinant plasmid contained the complete VP(3) CDS sequence. Western blotting detected a 14.03 kD protein expression from the transfected cells, which was the expecting band of VP(3) gene. The growth of CNE-2 cells that expressed VP(3) gene was inhibited,while the growth of CNE-2 cells that did not express VP(3) gene was not inhibited.
Conclusion: VP(3) gene can kill nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell CNE-2.

Minigenomes (MGs) have greatly advanced research on the viral life cycle, including viral replication and transcription, virus‒host interactions, and the discovery of antivirals against RNA viruses. However, an MG for infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) has not been well established. Here, we describe the development of IBDV MG, in which the entire coding sequences of viral genomic segments A and B are replaced with Renilla luciferase (Rluc) or enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) reporter genes.

Article Synopsis
- Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is being studied as a gene therapy vector, but its response to light exposure has not been fully understood.
- Research on rAAV6 with EGFP showed that light stress resulted in a 20% loss of virus particles and a 90% reduction in biological activity, primarily due to DNA degradation.
- Analysis revealed that light exposure causes specific types of protein and DNA damage, indicating the importance of careful handling and storage of rAAV to preserve its therapeutic effectiveness.

Background: The garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus) has experienced a significant population decline across Europe in recent decades. While habitat loss and climate change are often cited as primary factors, pathogen exposure, either to novel or to previously known, may play a role in such a decline. This study aimed to investigate the presence of polyomaviruses in garden dormice, given that these viruses are highly prevalent and can cause disease, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.

Coxsackievirus A2 (CVA2), a member of enterovirus A species (EV-A), is associated with diverse human diseases and occasionally causes acute gastroenteritis (AGE). In Thailand, CVA2 emerged as the predominant genotype in 2019. The increasing incidence of CVA2, coupled with the limited availability of full-length genomes, highlights the need for more complete genome sequence analysis to facilitate molecular epidemiology study.
