Considering the discrepancies between published studies on viral RNA detection in urine of convalescing WNV-positive patients, we explored the use of electron microscopy (EM) with anti-WNV E protein antibody immunogold labeling to detect virus in the urine sediment from a subset of study participants in the Houston WNV cohort.

Dec 12, 2017 · This paper presents our methodology and results of using electron microscopy (EM), including the use of labeling immunogold with anti-WNV E protein polyclonal antibody, to detect virus envelope in the sediment of urine.

Keywords: West Nile virus, flavivirus, infection, pathogenesis, diagnosis. Virology and Molecular Biology of WNV. West Nile virus is a positive-stranded RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae (genus Flavivirus), which includes other human pathogens such as dengue, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis viruses [1, 2]. The virion consists of an ...

Jun 29, 2004 · In this study, the West Nile (Sarafend) virus-infected Vero cell model was used. The atomic force microscope was found to be useful in producing high resolution images of virus-host events with minimal sample processing requirements.

Mar 21, 2007 · The structure of immature West Nile virus particles, propagated in the presence of ammonium chloride to block virus maturation in the low-pH environment of the trans-Golgi network, was determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The structure of these particles was similar to that of immature West Nile virus particles found as a minor ...

Apr 23, 2012 · SLEV antigen was detected by indirect immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and immune electron microscopy in 12 patients during the 1976 outbreak in the United States . Furthermore, experimental animal studies have shown that certain flaviviruses are shed in …
