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]
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.

T Cell Exhaustion in Cancer Immunotherapy: Heterogeneity, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Opportunities
T cell exhaustion limits immunotherapy efficacy. This article delineates its progression from stem‐like to terminally exhausted states, governed by persistent antigen, transcription factors, epigenetics, and metabolism. It maps the exhaustion landscape in the TME and proposes integrated reversal strategies, providing a translational roadmap to overcome

Vaccinia virus immune evasion: mechanisms, virulence and immunogenicity [PDF]
Virus infection of mammalian cells is sensed by pattern recognition receptors and leads to an innate immune response that restricts virus replication and induces adaptive immunity.

Tumor vascular remodeling is discussed from a chemokine‐centered perspective. This review summarizes the bidirectional, temporal, and tissue‐specific roles of CXC chemokines in regulating vascular function and immune accessibility. A functional vascular normalization score is introduced as a conceptual framework to integrate dynamic vascular and immune

Comparative biochemical and functional analysis of viral and human secreted tumor necrosis factor (TNF) decoy receptors [PDF]
© 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 ...

Eczema Monkeypoxicum Following Sexual Transmission Treated With Tecovirimat
ABSTRACT Mpox is a zoonotic viral infection caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV) and risk factors for its dissemination include previous dermatoses such as atopic dermatitis [1]. We present the case of a 30‐year‐old male with an unusual and extensive presentation of mpox following unprotected sexual intercourse, with an excellent response to tecovirimat ...

Flow Cytometry and T-Cell Response Monitoring after Smallpox Vaccination
Orthopoxvirus zoonosis or smallpox as result of bioterrorism or biological warfare represents a risk for epidemic spread. By monitoring T-cell responses by flow cytometry, we observed a recall response after recent vaccination against smallpox.

Poxvirus-encoded TNF decoy receptors inhibit the biological activity of transmembrane TNF [PDF]
© 2015 The Authors. Poxviruses encode up to four different soluble TNF receptors, named cytokine response modifier B (CrmB), CrmC, CrmD and CrmE. These proteins mimic the extracellular domain of the cellular TNF receptors to bind and inhibit the activity

ABSTRACT Objective With regulatory approval of HPV‐specific immunotherapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) and growing experience with systemic bevacizumab, a management algorithm incorporating these medical treatments is warranted. Data Sources and Methods RRP Foundation (RRPF) Key Opinion Leaders offer a proposed management algorithm ...
