A comparative study of high molecular virus-specific proteins in cells infected with flaviviruses from 5 serological subgroups was carried out. Proteins NV5, NV4, and V3 were found to have similar electrophoretic mobility in viruses of the tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) complex with the exception of Powassan virus protein. Proteins NV5 and NV4 of mosquito-borne flaviviruses differ in electrophoretic mobility both from the corresponding proteins of the TBE complex viruses and from each other. Protein NV4 1/2 is formed only in cells infected with TBE complex viruses. Varying electrophoretic mobility of protein NV3 in different flaviviruses attests to its virus-specific nature.

One widespread technique to assess in relative terms the amount of broken DNA present in the genome of individual cells consists of immobilizing the cell's nucleus under an agarose pad (called the nucleoid) and subjecting the whole genome to electrophoresis to force broken DNA molecules out of it. Since the migrating broken DNA molecules create a tail behind the nucleoid, this technique is named the comet assay. While performing comet assays regularly, we systematically observed circular regions devoid of DNA within the nucleoid region.

Background: Several studies suggested the genetic association between IL10RA variants and susceptibility to Behcet's disease (BD). However, the precise mechanism of the association is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism underlying the genetic associations between IL10RA polymorphisms and the risk of BD.

Protein glycosylation has been considered as a fundamental phenomenon shared by all domains of life. In , glycosylation of flagellins A and B with pseudaminic acid have been rigorously confirmed and shown to be essential for flagella assembly and bacterial colonization. In addition to flagellins, several other proteins including RecA, AlpA/B, and BabA/B in have also been reported to be glycosylated and to be dependent on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthetic pathway.
