Zoonotic Poxviruses Associated with Companion Animals
Animals, 2011 Understanding the zoonotic risk posed by poxviruses in companion animals is important for protecting both human and animal health. The outbreak of monkeypox in the United States, as well as current reports of cowpox in Europe, point to the fact that ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Wei et al. report that MPXV infection induces aerobic glycolysis, a process mediated by the viral protein I3 through lysine crotonylation at its K102 residue. The acetyltransferase MYST1 catalyzes the crotonylation of I3 to inhibit the ubiquitin‐mediated degradation of WDR26.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Orthopoxviruses (OPXVs) not only infect their natural hosts, but some OPXVs can also cause disease in humans. Previously, we partially characterized an OPXV isolated from an 18-year-old male living in Northern Norway.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study finds that CD8⁺ TSCM cells exhibit superior self‐renewal, differentiation, and antiviral activity. Transcriptome and epigenome analyses highlight MAPK cascade regulation in TSCM cells. In vivo, virus‐specific TSCM cells show enhanced persistence and tumor protection.

Detection of Vaccinia Virus in Urban Domestic Cats, Brazil
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017 We investigated possible vaccinia virus (VACV) in urban house cats in Brazil. Serum samples from 6 cats were positive for VACV by PCR, indicating likely VACV circulation among house cats in urban areas of Brazil. This finding highlights the importance of

A negative feedback modulator of antigen processing evolved from a frameshift in the cowpox virus genome. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Coevolution of viruses and their hosts represents a dynamic molecular battle between the immune system and viral factors that mediate immune evasion. After the abandonment of smallpox vaccination, cowpox virus infections are an emerging zoonotic health ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies a new viral mechanism by a viral protein σ3 that functions as a vTR to suppress NF‐κB gene expression via its direct interaction with the host helicase DHX9. Through their interaction, σ3 not only impairs the initial recruitment of Pol II but also affects Pol II pause‐release and ultimately suppresses NF‐κB gene expression ...

Comparative biochemical and functional analysis of viral and human secreted tumor necrosis factor (TNF) decoy receptors [PDF]
, 2015 © 2015 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. The blockade of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by etanercept, a soluble version of the human TNF receptor 2 (hTNFR2), is a well established strategy to inhibit adverse TNF-mediated ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.CD20⁺FCRL4⁺ B cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma actively cross‐present exogenous tumor antigens via MHC‐I, enhancing CD8⁺ T‐cell activation, memory formation, and cytotoxicity. IFNγ‐driven WDFY4 upregulation facilitates this process. These findings reveal an unconventional B‐cell–mediated antitumor mechanism and indicate potential relevance to ...

Effects of nasal or pulmonary delivered treatments with an adenovirus vectored interferon (mDEF201) on respiratory and systemic infections in mice caused by cowpox and vaccinia viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 An adenovirus 5 vector encoding for mouse interferon alpha, subtype 5 (mDEF201) was evaluated for efficacy against lethal cowpox (Brighton strain) and vaccinia (WR strain) virus respiratory and systemic infections in mice.
