New Yellow Fever Tracking Technique

Princeton University Researchers have developed a technique to track the replication of Yellow Fever Virus. The method, developed by Alexander Ploss and colleagues, tracks the synthesis of viral RNA in cells as a marker of viral presence.

Using this method, dubbed "RNA Prime Flow", was used to determine that the deletion of the STAT1 gene in mice, involved in interferon signalling, would cause even the vaccine strain of the virus to become virulent. Researchers also used the method to discern that Yellow Fever changes the sorts of cells it infects during the course of infection, moving into B lymphocytes and natural killer cells, where the presence of YF virus had not been observed previously.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
