Rationalizing the development of live attenuated virus vaccinesAdam S Lauring
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA
Nat Biotechnol 28:573-9. 2010..Whereas these rationally attenuated viruses may lead to a new generation of safer, more widely applicable LAV vaccines, each approach requires further testing before progression to human testing...
Cricket paralysis virus antagonizes Argonaute 2 to modulate antiviral defense in DrosophilaArabinda Nayak
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA
Nat Struct Mol Biol 17:547-54. 2010..In contrast, Sindbis pathogenesis was only modestly increased by expression of DCV- 1A. We conclude that RNAi suppressors function as virulence factors in insects and can target the Drosophila RNAi pathway at different points...
Antiviral immunity in Drosophila requires systemic RNA interference spreadMaria Carla Saleh

Harnessing endogenous miRNAs to control virus tissue tropism as a strategy for developing attenuated virus vaccinesDwight Barnes
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143 2280, USA
Cell Host Microbe 4:239-48. 2008..Importantly, these viruses retained the ability to replicate in nonneuronal tissues. As a result, these engineered miRNA-regulated viruses elicited strong protective immunity in mice without producing disease...
Exploring the fitness landscape of an RNA virus by using a universal barcode microarrayAdam S Lauring
Department of Medicine, UCSF Box 2280, San Francisco, CA 94143 2280, USA
J Virol 85:3780-91. 2011..The experimental paradigm presented here is readily adaptable to other viral systems and can potentially be used to track thousands of variants in a cost-effective manner...
An RNA element at the 5'-end of the poliovirus genome functions as a general promoter for RNA synthesisDorothee A Vogt

Slicer activity in Drosophila melanogaster S2 extractArabinda Nayak
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA
Methods Mol Biol 721:231-44. 2011..In this chapter, we will describe how to prepare enzymatically active cell-free S2 extract to analyze the Slicer activity of RISC as well as the effects of viral RNAi suppressors which block this process...
An enhanced single base extension technique for the analysis of complex viral populationsDale R Webster
Biological and Medical Informatics Program, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America
PLoS ONE 4:e7453. 2009....
A morpholino oligomer targeting highly conserved internal ribosome entry site sequence is able to inhibit multiple species of picornavirusJeffrey K Stone
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94143, USA
Antimicrob Agents Chemother 52:1970-81. 2008..These results suggest that EnteroX may have broad therapeutic potential against entero- and rhinoviruses...
Engineering attenuated virus vaccines by controlling replication fidelityMarco Vignuzzi
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California San Francisco, 600 16th Street, San Francisco, California 94143 2280, USA
Nat Med 14:154-61. 2008..We propose that restricting viral quasispecies diversity provides a general approach for the rational design of stable, attenuated vaccines for a wide variety of viruses...
Codon usage determines the mutational robustness, evolutionary capacity, and virulence of an RNA virusAdam S Lauring
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
Cell Host Microbe 12:623-32. 2012..This organizing principle for RNA virus populations confers tolerance to mutations and facilitates replication and spread within the dynamic host environment...
The RNA silencing endonuclease Argonaute 2 mediates specific antiviral immunity in Drosophila melanogasterRonald P Van Rij
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California at San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
Genes Dev 20:2985-95. 2006..Based on these results we propose that RNAi is a major antiviral immune defense mechanism in Drosophila...
Quasispecies theory and the behavior of RNA virusesAdam S Lauring
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America
PLoS Pathog 6:e1001005. 2010..Here, we discuss basic principles of quasispecies theory and describe its relevance for our understanding of viral fitness, virulence, and antiviral therapeutic strategy...
Identification and manipulation of the molecular determinants influencing poliovirus recombinationCharles Runckel
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America
PLoS Pathog 9:e1003164. 2013..Our results imply that modification of these motifs could be extended to whole genome re-designs for the development of recombination-deficient, genetically stable live vaccine strains...
The silent treatment: RNAi as a defense against virus infection in mammalsRonald P Van Rij
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California-San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143-2280, USA
Trends Biotechnol 24:186-93. 2006..Although several issues remain to be addressed, such as delivery and viral escape, these findings hold tremendous potential for the development of RNAi-based antiviral therapeutics...
