Whole genome sequencing of recombinant viruses obtained from co-infection and superinfection of Vero cells with modified vaccinia virus ankara vectored influenza vaccine and a naturally occurring cowpox virus
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-03)Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) has been widely tested in clinical trials as recombinant vector vaccine against infectious diseases and cancers in humans and animals. However, one biosafety concern about the use of MVA vectored vaccine is the potential for MVA to recombine with naturally occurring orthopoxviruses in cells and hosts in which it multiplies poorly and, therefore, producing ... -
High-resolution imaging in acoustic microscopy using deep learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-18)Acoustic microscopy is a cutting-edge label-free imaging technology that allows us to see the surface and interior structure of industrial and biological materials. The acoustic image is created by focusing high-frequency acoustic waves on the object and then detecting reflected signals. On the other hand, the quality of the acoustic image's resolution is influenced by the signal-to-noise ratio, the ... -
