Antiviral potential of cathelicidins (2013)
Journal Article
Barlow, P. G., Findlay, E. G., Currie, S. M., & Davidson, D. J. (2014). Antiviral potential of cathelicidins. Future Microbiology, 9(1), 55-73. https://doi.org/10.2217/fmb.13.135

The global burden of morbidity and mortality arising from viral infections is high; however, the development of effective therapeutics has been slow. As our understanding of innate immunity has expanded over recent years, knowledge of natural host de... Read More about Antiviral potential of cathelicidins.

Journal Article
Sait, M., Livingstone, M., Graham, R., Inglis, N. F., Wheelhouse, N., & Longbottom, D. (2011). Identification, sequencing and molecular analysis of Chp4, a novel chlamydiaphage of Chlamydophila abortus belonging to the family Microviridae. Journal of General Virology, 92(7), 1733-1737. https://doi.org/10.1099/vir.0.031583-0

Members of the family Microviridae have been identified in a number of chlamydial species infecting humans (phage CPAR39 in Chlamydophila pneumoniae), other mammals (phiCPG1 in Chlamydophila caviae, Chp2 in Chlamydophila abortus and Chp3 in Chlamydop...

Transcription Mapping as a Tool in Phage Genomics: The Case of the Temperate Streptococcus thermophilus Phage Sfi21 (2002)
Journal Article
Ventura, M., Foley, S., Bruttin, A., Chennoufi, S. C., Canchaya, C., & Brüssow, H. (2002). Transcription Mapping as a Tool in Phage Genomics: The Case of the Temperate Streptococcus thermophilus Phage Sfi21. Virology, 296(1), 62-76. https://doi.org/10.1006/viro.2001.1331

For the lytic growth cycle of the temperate cos-site Streptococcus thermophilus phage Sfi21 a transcription map was developed on the basis of systematic Northern blot hybridizations. All deduced 5′ ends were confirmed by primer extension analysis. Th...
