Pooler M, Myung I, Bentz J, Sherald J, Hartung J
Lett Appl Microbiol . 1997 Aug; 25(2):123-6. PMID: 9281861
A sensitive and specific assay for detecting Xylella fastidiosa in potential insect vectors was developed. This assay involves immunomagnetic separation of the bacteria from the insect, followed by a two-step,...

Shangguan T, ALFORD D, Bentz J
Biochemistry . 1996 Apr; 35(15):4956-65. PMID: 8664288
Monolayer intrinsic curvature, void stabilization, and membrane rupture tension have been suggested as important factors determining the rate of membrane fusion. Here, we have studied the kinetics of fusion between...

GOLDFINE H, Knob C, ALFORD D, Bentz J
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 1995 Mar; 92(7):2979-83. PMID: 7708759
We have examined potential cooperative interactions of Listeria monocytogenes phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) and listeriolysin O (LLO), a pore-forming hemolysin, in a liposome lysis assay. Large unilamellar vesicles, approximately 0.1...

ALFORD D, Ellens H, Bentz J
Biochemistry . 1994 Mar; 33(8):1977-87. PMID: 8117654
We have monitored the fusion of intact A/PR/8/34 influenza virus with glycophorin-bearing liposomes and with ganglioside- (GD1a-) containing liposomes. The lipid bilayers of the glycophorin-bearing liposomes had several compositions, including...

Bentz J
Biophys J . 1992 Aug; 63(2):448-59. PMID: 1420890
Recently, it has become clear that the influenza virus fusion protein, hemagglutinin (HA), produces membrane destabilization and fusion by a multistep process, which involves the aggregation of the HAs to...

Prasad Y, Smith J, Gottlieb P, Bentz J
Antisense Res Dev . 1992 Jan; 2(4):267-77. PMID: 1292776
RNAs derived from the genomic and antigenomic hepatitis delta virus are capable of self-cleavage, and thus have the potential for serving as ribozymes in a trans-cleaving reaction. Because the catalytic...

Bentz J, Ellens H, ALFORD D
FEBS Lett . 1990 Dec; 276(1-2):1-5. PMID: 2265687
The recent finding that more than one Influenza hemagglutinin (HA) is required at the fusion site for HA-expressing fibroblasts, together with the crystal structure of HA at neutral pH, provide...

Ellens H, Bentz J, Mason D, Zhang F, White J
Biochemistry . 1990 Oct; 29(41):9697-707. PMID: 2271610
Influenza virus gains access to the cytoplasm of its host cell by means of a fusion event between viral and host cell membrane. Fusion is mediated by the envelope glycoprotein...

Siegel D, Banschbach J, ALFORD D, Ellens H, Lis L, Quinn P, et al.
Biochemistry . 1989 May; 28(9):3703-9. PMID: 2751991
In the preceding paper (Ellens et al., 1989), it was shown that liposome fusion rates are substantially enhanced under the same conditions which induce isotropic 31P NMR resonances in multilamellar...
