CXCL10 Chemokine: A Critical Player in RNA and DNA Viral Infections. [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 Chemokines constitute a group of small, secreted proteins that regulate leukocyte migration and contribute to their activation. Chemokines are crucial inflammatory mediators that play a key role in managing viral infections, during which the profile of ...

DNA Viral Diversity, Abundance, and Functional Potential Vary across Grassland Soils with a Range of Historical Moisture Regimes. [PDF]
mBio, 2021 Soil viruses are abundant, but the influence of the environment and climate on soil viruses remains poorly understood. Here, we addressed this gap by comparing the diversity, abundance, lifestyle, and metabolic potential of DNA viruses in three grassland

Epigenetic control of Epstein–Barr virus transcription – relevance to viral life cycle? [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2013 DNA methylation normally leads to silencing of gene expression but Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) provides an exception to the epigenetic paradigm. DNA methylation is absolutely required for the expression of many viral genes.

DNA vaccines for viral diseases [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 DNA plasmids encoding foreign proteins may be used as immunogens by direct intramuscular injection alone, or with various adjuvants and excipients, or by delivery of DNA-coated gold particles to the epidermis through biolistic immunization.

Cellular sensing of viral DNA and viral evasion mechanisms. [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2014 Mammalian cells detect foreign DNA introduced as free DNA or as a result of microbial infection, leading to the induction of innate immune responses that block microbial replication and the activation of mechanisms that epigenetically silence the genes encoded by the foreign DNA.

Viral evasion of intracellular DNA and RNA sensing
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2016 The co-evolution of viruses with their hosts has led to the emergence of viral pathogens that are adept at evading or actively suppressing host immunity.

Modulation of the functional interfaces between retroviral intasomes and the human nucleosome
mBio, 2023 Infection by retroviruses as HIV-1 requires the stable integration of their genome into the host cells. This process needs the formation of integrase (IN)-viral DNA complexes, called intasomes, and their interaction with the target DNA wrapped around ...
