Ekaterina Chukhno analyzes primate herpesviruses

Within her master thesis Ekaterina Chukhno („Molecular Biology“ program) will establish a cosmid-based system for production of primate herpesviruses. Moreover, she will use the cosmids to insert reporter genes into the viral genome, which allow convenient identification of infected cells and quantification of viral spread. Finally, she will use these tools to analyze blockade of viral infection by antiviral effector protein of the innate immune system.
