Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Echovirus Infections:

1.	LactoferrinIBA 02/01/2006 - "In the present study, we have investigated both the role of tryptic fragments of bovine lactoferrin and the mechanism of lactoferrin effect on echovirus infection. " 03/01/2007 - "Recently, we have shown that bovine lactoferrin prevents the early phases of echovirus infection and also acts as a survival factor inhibiting viral-induced apoptosis. "
2.	Complement System Proteins (Complement)IBA 05/01/1961 - "Observations on the complement-fixing antibody response to poliovirus in patients with certain Coxsackie and ECHO virus infections." 05/01/2000 - "Echovirus infection of rhabdomyosarcoma cells is inhibited by antiserum to the complement control protein CD59." 06/01/1989 - "Disseminated echovirus infection in a patient with multiple myeloma and a functional defect in complement. "
3.	Neutralizing AntibodiesIBA 01/01/1993 - "The epidemiologic features of type 22 echovirus infections with regard to age and seasonal distribution, contagiousness and a relative lack of protection by neutralizing antibodies differed from most enterovirus infections." 01/01/1987 - "All investigated myocarditis patients suffered from Coxsackie B or Echo-virus infections which were confirmed using virus neutralizing antibody test and haemagglutination inhibition test, respectively. "
4.	Integrin beta3 (GPIIIa)IBA 09/01/1999 - "Since E9/Barty does not replicate or replicates only poorly in mice older than about 5 days, and expression of the vitronectin receptor is reported to be down-regulated in striated muscle tissue during development, it is suggested that susceptibility of mice to this echovirus infection is controlled by the availability of alpha(v)beta3 integrin."
5.	Integrin alphaVbeta3IBA 09/01/1999 - "Since E9/Barty does not replicate or replicates only poorly in mice older than about 5 days, and expression of the vitronectin receptor is reported to be down-regulated in striated muscle tissue during development, it is suggested that susceptibility of mice to this echovirus infection is controlled by the availability of alpha(v)beta3 integrin."
6.	Integrin alpha2beta1IBA 09/01/1997 - "Persistent echovirus infection of mouse cells expressing the viral receptor VLA-2."
7.	Interleukin-2 Receptors (IL 2 Receptor)IBA 01/01/1989 - "In addition, there was evidence of lymphocyte activation following the development of echovirus infection (increase in HLA-DR expression and elevated serum IL-2 receptor levels) which resolved with clinical improvement. "
8.	VimentinIBA 09/01/2013 - "Cell susceptibility to baculovirus transduction and echovirus infection is modified by protein kinase C phosphorylation and vimentin organization."
9.	Protein Kinase CIBA 09/01/2013 - "Cell susceptibility to baculovirus transduction and echovirus infection is modified by protein kinase C phosphorylation and vimentin organization."
10.	Protease Inhibitors (Protease Inhibitor)IBA 01/01/2006 - "Very little drug discovery research is being done to develop inhibitors for echovirus infections, probably due to the broad-spectrum inhibition exhibited by capsid binding agents and protease inhibitors discovered for treatment of other picornaviruses. "

Therapies and Procedures
