Large-Scale Chromatin Immunoprecipitation with Promoter Sequence Microarray Analysis of the Interaction of the NSs Protein of Rift Valley Fever Virus with Regulatory DNA Regions of the Host Genome

Abstract excerpt

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a highly pathogenic Phlebovirus that infects humans and ruminants. Initially confined to Africa, RVFV has spread outside Africa and presently represents a high risk to other geographic regions. It is responsible for high fatality rates in sheep and cattle. In humans, RVFV can induce hepatitis, encephalitis, retinitis, or fatal hemorrhagic fever. The nonstructural NSs protein that...
