Absence of CTL Responses to Early Viral Antigens Facilitates Viral Persistence [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2008
Abstract CD8+ T cells are crucial for the control of intracellular pathogens such as viruses and some bacteria. Using lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection of mice—the prototypic arenavirus evolutionarily closely related to human Lassa fever and South American hemorrhagic fever viruses, we have shown previously that the ...

Infectious diseases and autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Introduction: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system recognizes and attacks host tissue. In addition to genetic factors, environmental triggers (in particular viruses, bacteria and other infectious pathogens) are thought to play a major role in the ...

Systematic collection, annotation, and pattern analysis of viral vaccines in the VIOLIN vaccine knowledgebase

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundViral vaccines have been proven significant in protecting us against viral diseases such as COVID-19. To better understand and design viral vaccines, it is critical to systematically collect, annotate, and analyse various viral vaccines and ...

Functionally inactivated dominant viral antigens of human cytomegalovirus delivered in replication incompetent adenovirus type 6 vectors as vaccine candidates

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
T cell immunity is critical in controlling human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection in transplant recipients, and T cells targeting viral immediate early proteins such as IE1, IE2 and pp65 have been speculated to be more effective against reactivation ...

Provision of combined antiretroviral therapy in HIV-positive pregnant women and the increased risk of apoptosis-related intra-uterine growth restriction

open access: yesHIV & AIDS Review. International Journal of HIV-Related Problems, 2019
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection during pregnancy is still a major problem worldwide, especially in developing countries. Although administration of anti-retroviral drugs has succeeded in reducing mother-to-child transmission, poor obstetric ...

A Genetic Locus Regulates the Expression of Tissue-Specific mRNAs from Multiple Transcription Units [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
129 GIX- mice, unlike animals of the congeneic partner strain GIX+, do not express significant amounts of the retroviral antigens gp70 and p30. Evidence is presented indicating that the GIX phenotype is specified by a distinct regulatory gene acting on ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Kinetics of antibody-induced modulation of respiratory syncytial virus antigens in a human epithelial cell line

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2007
Background The binding of viral-specific antibodies to cell-surface antigens usually results in down modulation of the antigen through redistribution of antigens into patches that subsequently may be internalized by endocytosis or may form caps that can ...

Persistent Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection of Enteric Neurons Triggers CD8+ T Cell Response and Gastrointestinal Neuromuscular Dysfunction

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Behind the central nervous system, neurotropic viruses can reach and persist even in the enteric nervous system (ENS), the neuronal network embedded in the gut wall.

Viral proteins expressed in the protozoan parasite Eimeria tenella are detected by the chicken immune system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Eimeria species are parasitic protozoa that cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease commonly characterised by malabsorption, diarrhoea and haemorrhage that is particularly important in chickens.
