Relapse of polymyalgia rheumatica following adjuvanted influenza vaccine: A case-based review [PDF]
Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is the most common inflammatory rheumatological condition affecting individuals aged >50 years. There have been rare reports of PMR and other vasculitides developing within 3 months of influenza vaccination.

Apoptosis in Alphavirus Encephalitis
Abstract Sindbis virus causes acute encephalitis in mice and serves as a useful model for encephalitic alphaviruses that infect humans. The outcome of infection is determined by whether infected neurons are resistant to virus-induced programmed cell death or activate their apoptotic pathway.

The adjuvant activity of alphavirus replicons is enhanced by incorporating the microbial molecule flagellin into the replicon. [PDF]
Ligands of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) including Toll-like receptors (TLRs) stimulate innate and adaptive immune responses and are considered as potent adjuvants. Combinations of ligands might act in synergy to induce stronger and broader immune

Selective precipitation reaction: a novel diagnostic test for tissue pathology in Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar, infected with Salmonid Alpha-Virus (SAV3) [PDF]
While investigating biomarkers for infection with salmonid alphavirus (SAV), the cause of pancreas disease (PD), a selective precipitation reaction (SPR) has been discovered in serum which could be an on-farm qualitative test and an in-laboratory ...

The interferon-stimulated gene IFITM3 restricts infection and pathogenesis of arthritogenic and encephalitic alphaviruses [PDF]
Host cells respond to viral infections by producing type I interferon (IFN), which induces the expression of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs).

Alphavirus Restriction by
Interferon inducible transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) are broad‐spectrum antiviral factors. In cell culture the entry of many enveloped viruses, including orthomyxo‐, flavi‐, and filoviruses, is inhibited by IFITMs, though the mechanism(s) involved remain unclear and may vary between viruses.

ZAP's stress granule localization is correlated with its antiviral activity and induced by virus replication. [PDF]
Cellular antiviral programs encode molecules capable of targeting multiple steps in the virus lifecycle. Zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) is a central and general regulator of antiviral activity that targets pathogen mRNA stability and translation ...

Interactions of Alphavirus nsP3 Protein with Host Proteins
Alphaviruses are members of the Togaviridae family and are grouped into two categories: arthritogenic and encephalitic. Arthritogenic alphavirus infections, as the name implies, are associated with arthritic outcomes while encephalitic alphavirus ...
