Encapsulated virus (like feline rhinotracheitis virus), opportunistic and low immunogenic activity,
with tropism for both respiratory and genital mucous membranes and central nervous system, capable of persisting in a latent status and reactivating at regular intervals.

These findings represent an important step towards a better understanding of human Leishmania infection,
with relevance to parasite drug resistance, pathogenicity, and tissue
tropism.
As full length Bk132 Env would not pseudotype on an NL43 HIV core we truncated the cytoplasmic tail of the Envs [49], [50], and conducted
tropism testing on NP2 cell lines expressing CD4
with either CCR5 or CXCR4.
In addition to the viral vector itself, each virus particle comprises a viral envelope that fuses
with the target cell's membrane and determines target cell specificity or
tropism (see Viruses of a Feather Infect Together, below), and a protein capsid that encloses the genetic material.
Pseudotyping is the process of producing viruses
with foreign envelope proteins and is frequently used to generate viruses
with altered cell
tropism [Cronin et al., 2006].
We sequenced the genome of T. annulata and compared it
with that of T. parva to understand the mechanisms underlying transformation and
tropism.
The MDA - MB - 231 — derived 1833 cell line, which is characterized by enhanced bone - specific metastasis compared to the parental cell line or cell lines
with increased
tropism to lung and brain, showed increased abundance of ABL1 and ABL2 (fig.
To directly evaluate the relationship between ABL family kinases and metastasis, we analyzed ABL1 and ABL2 protein abundance in MDA - MB - 231 — derived breast cancer cell lines
with different organ metastasis
tropisms (19).
Important features of XMRV biology include (1)
tropism for a variety of cell lines, including prostate cancer DU145 and LNCaP cells [27], [43], [48], and human neural cell types [57], (2) adaptations that promote growth in prostate epithelium and human - derived prostate cancer cell lines including an androgen response element in the promoter region [58] and downregulation of APOBEC3G [59], and (3) cellular effects
with potential oncogenic properties including increased tumor aggressiveness mediated by downregulation of p27 [60] and differential regulation of several microRNAs [61].
Once this transformation or change in
tropism (preference) has occurred, the body's immune system runs amuck
with severe inflammation attacking cells that harbor the virus (liberation of pro-inflammatory cytokines).
