The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

Influenza Virus-cell Fusion Inhibition Assay
Bio-Protocol, 2013 During viral infection to host cells, several viruses undergo the process of endocytosis and pH-dependent fusion. By fusion of viral membrane with host cellular membrane, the viral core invades to host cytoplasm.

Antibody response to a viral transcriptional regulator
FEBS Letters, 2002 The E2 transcriptional activator of the human papillomavirus regulates the expression of most viral transcripts. Its binding to specific target DNA sequences involves large conformational changes in the interacting macromolecules. The high stability of the E2:DNA complex prompted us to analyze the role of macromolecular interactions and adjuvant ...

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).
