DESCRIPTION:Pseudotype viruses are rapidly establishing themselves as impo
 rtant research and diagnostic tools of basic and clinical scientists facil
 itating the detailed study of individual viral genes\, host cell receptors
  and highly pathogenic viruses\, circumventing the need for high-level bio
 safety containment. The switching of surface envelope proteins expressed o
 n the surface of these pseudotypes enables them to be used as surrogate vi
 ruses in neutralization/antiviral screening assays and for the study of ce
 ll–virus receptor interactions. This meeting encompasses the many divers
 e applications of pseudotype technologies from a practical\, translational
  and public health perspective.\n\nhttp://www.regonline.co.uk/pseuVirus201
