Mechanisms of neuroinvasion by prions: molecular principles and present state of research... Since the latter discovery, transgenic mice have contributed many important insights to the field of prion biology, including an understanding of the molecular basis of the species barrier for prions....
Swine to human transmission of reassortants of pandemic (h1n1) 2009 and endemic swine influenza viruses: abstractTo gain insight into the possible origin of a new reassortant influenza A virus between pandemic (H1N1) 2009 and endemic swine viruses that has jumped the species barrier and caused a few infections among humans in Indiana and Pennsylvania recently, we analyzed all full genome sequences related to this virus and report its evolutionary...
A journey through the species barrier AbstractThe species barrier in prion infectivity is believed to reside in the degree of amino acid sequence heterology between the infectious prion protein, PrPSc, of the donor and the normal...
