Antiviral activity of ovotransferrin derived peptides
No full textOvotransferrin and lactoferrin are iron-binding proteins with antiviral and antibacterial activities related to natural immunity,
showing marked sequence and structural homologies. The antiviral activity of two hen ovotransferrin fragments DQKDEYELL
(hOtrf219–227) and KDLLFK (hOtrf269–301 and hOtrf633–638) towards Mareks disease virus infection of chicken embryo fibroblasts
is reported here. These fragments have sequence homology with two bovine lactoferrin fragments with antiviral activity towards
herpes simplex virus, suggesting that these fragments could have a role for the exploitation of the antiviral activity of the intact proteins
towards herpes viruses. NMR analysis showed that these peptides, chemically synthetized, did not possess any favourite conformation
in solution, indicating that both the aminoacid sequence and the conformation they display in the intact protein are
essential for the antiviral activity

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
