Pre-symptomatic late infantile MLD patients, as well as those with juvenile or adult MLD that are either presymptomatic or displaying mild symptoms, can consider bone marrow transplantation (including stem cell transplantation), which may slow down progression of the disease in the central nervous system.
Dose-dependent effects of the indicated TBEV inhibitors on virus titres. PS cells were infected with TBEV at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 and treated with 2â²-C-methylguanosine (A), 2â²-C-methyluridine (B), RO-9187 (C) and (D) 4â²-azidocytidine at the indicated concentrations.
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes one of the most dangerous human neuroinfections in Europe and Asia. To infect neurons it must cross the blood-brain-barrier (BBB), and presumably also cells adjacent to the BBB, such as astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell type.
