6. TYMV can form a molecular “container” after
release of RNA, nano-inspired applications with
a protein shell with a small “hole”
before
After freeze-thaw
7. TYMV dual-subgenomic RNA for
expression of GFP and GUS.
Future downstream use for
vaccine development
8.
9. Biophysical studies of TYMV
Characterization empty, virion and intermediate particles
Northerns, Westerns, gradient centrifugation, etc.
10. Previous Work (M.S degree at OHSU):
Signaling of a Cytomegalovirus chemokine
receptor US28: plenty of cloning, tissue
culture, immuno-precipitation/fluorescence
and construction of CMV knockout mutants
