Project description:We report the genetic plasticity of Sendai virus and mumps virus. We introduced insertional mutation in the virus genome and checked fitness by comparing distribution of mutans in passage 1 and passage 2.
Project description:We evaluate the individual growth of 8 mutants of Sendai virus in the competitive condition under the cultured cells. We also evalate the growth of 6 mutants of mumps virus in the similar competitive condition.
Project description:Daily transcriptomic profiling was conducted on whole blood collected from COVID-19 cases. Whole blood was collected in Tempus Blood RNA tubes, and RNA was extracted from whole blood using the Tempus Spin RNA Isolation Kit. Healthy controls consisted of participants of a measles, mumps and rubella re-vaccination study. Pre-vaccination whole blood was collected and processed and analyzed as above.
