Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Nairobi Sheep Disease:

1.	PolyproteinsIBA 03/30/2004 - "The identification of an ovarian tumor (OTU)-like protease motif in the L protein amino termini of the nairoviruses Dugbe, CCHF, and Nairobi sheep disease (NSD) indicates these proteins are members of the recently described OTU-like protease family and suggests that these large proteins may be polyproteins that are autoproteolytically cleaved or involved in deubiquitination."
2.	Complementary DNA (cDNA)IBA 04/01/1990 - "Cloned cDNA derived from the small (S) and medium (M) genomic RNA segments of Dugbe (DUG) virus, isolate ArD44313, a member of the Nairobi sheep disease (NSD) serogroup of nairoviruses (family, Bunyaviridae) was used to prepare 32P-labelled DNA and RNA probes. "
3.	RNA ProbesIBA 04/01/1990 - "Cloned cDNA derived from the small (S) and medium (M) genomic RNA segments of Dugbe (DUG) virus, isolate ArD44313, a member of the Nairobi sheep disease (NSD) serogroup of nairoviruses (family, Bunyaviridae) was used to prepare 32P-labelled DNA and RNA probes. "
4.	VaccinesIBA 08/01/1977 - "The antibody responses to experimental Nairobi sheep disease vaccines have been assayed. " 08/01/1977 - "The antibody response in sheep vaccinated with experimental Nairobi sheep disease vaccines."
5.	RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)IBA 04/01/1990 - "Cloned cDNA derived from the small (S) and medium (M) genomic RNA segments of Dugbe (DUG) virus, isolate ArD44313, a member of the Nairobi sheep disease (NSD) serogroup of nairoviruses (family, Bunyaviridae) was used to prepare 32P-labelled DNA and RNA probes. "
6.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)IBA 03/30/2004 - "The identification of an ovarian tumor (OTU)-like protease motif in the L protein amino termini of the nairoviruses Dugbe, CCHF, and Nairobi sheep disease (NSD) indicates these proteins are members of the recently described OTU-like protease family and suggests that these large proteins may be polyproteins that are autoproteolytically cleaved or involved in deubiquitination."
7.	DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)IBA 04/01/1990 - "Cloned cDNA derived from the small (S) and medium (M) genomic RNA segments of Dugbe (DUG) virus, isolate ArD44313, a member of the Nairobi sheep disease (NSD) serogroup of nairoviruses (family, Bunyaviridae) was used to prepare 32P-labelled DNA and RNA probes. "
8.	Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA)IBA 01/01/1980 - "8735 Amblyomma variegatum (Fabricius) were tested, 98.6% of which were taken from cattle, yielding 36 strains of Dugbe (DUG), four strains of Nairobi sheep disease (NSD), three strains of Bhanja (BHA), one strain of Thogoto (THO) and five strains of virus which could not be characterized. "
9.	AntigensIBA 06/01/1996 - "Cross-reactivity for the nairoviruses, Hazara, Nairobi sheep disease and Dugbe, was detected in serum samples from 3/72 human patients with confirmed CCHF infection, and serum from 1/162 other patients reacted monospecifically with Dugbe antigen. "
10.	Chikungunya virus infectionIBA 06/01/1991 - "Antibody prevalence rates were: Rift Valley fever, 2.8%; Sindbis, 2.6%; dugbe, 2.1%; dengue-2, 1.0%; West Nile, 0.9%; chikungunya, 0.7% and Nairobi sheep disease, 0.3%. "
