Isolation and Quantification of Epstein-Barr Virus from the P3HR1 Cell Line

This protocol permits the isolation of Epstein-Barr virus particles from the human P3HR1 cell line upon inducing the viral lytic cycle with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. DNA is subsequently extracted from the viral preparation and subjected to real-time PCR to quantify the viral particle concentration.

Rapid, Safe, and Simple Manual Bedside Nucleic Acid Extraction for the Detection of Virus in Whole Blood Samples06:59

Rapid, Safe, and Simple Manual Bedside Nucleic Acid Extraction for the Detection of Virus in Whole Blood Samples

Here, we present a protocol for the rapid virus nucleic acid extraction from the virus-inactivated whole blood. The extraction is performed directly in the blood collection tubes and requires no equipment or electricity. The method is not dependent on laboratory facilities and can be used anywhere (e.g., in field hospitals).

A Pediatric Concussion Model in Mice: Closed Head Injury with Long-Term Disorders (CHILD)

Pediatric concussions can result in long-term sequelae with physiological and psychological perturbations. This pediatric concussion mouse model results in long-term neuroinflammation, white matter alterations, and neuronal modifications with behavioral dysfunction. The model can be adapted to differential impact locations or repeated concussions to assess lifetime...
