Interferon Alpha Characterization and Its Comparative Expression in PBM Cells of Capra hircus and Antelope cervicapra Cultured in the Presence of TLR9 Agonist

Molecular Biology International, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
TLR9 plays pivotal role in innate immune responses through upregulation of costimulatory molecules and induction of proinflammatory cytokines like type I interferons including interferon alpha (IFNA). The present study characterized IFNA cDNA and predicted protein sequences in goat and black buck. Response of the PBM cells to TLR9 agonist CpG ODN C and

The Unique Immune System of Bats: An Evolutionary Analysis and Bibliometric Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
Through the evolutionary and bibliometric analyses, this study identified several critical immune genes and signaling pathways related to bat immunity. Currently, research on the immune system of bats primarily focuses on the themes of “efficient antiviral responses” and “inflammation suppression.” ABSTRACT Bats exhibit a greater capacity to tolerate ...

Where Do Core Thalamocortical Axons Terminate in Mammalian Neocortex When There Is No Cytoarchitecturally Distinct Layer 4?

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 532, Issue 7, July 2024.
Immunohistochemical staining for vesicular glutamate transporter 2 reveals the “core” thalamocortical projection to the neocortex in the African elephant. In the elephant and other mammals with unusual skin (such as pachydermatous skin), layer 4 is cytoarchitecturally indistinct, possibly absent, and the thalamocortical input terminates primarily on ...

Establishment of immortalized Egyptian Rousettus bat cell lines

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 598-612, April 2024.
Egyptian Rousettus bats serve as a reservoir for pathogens. Fibroblast cell lines K4DT and SV40 were established to overcome the limited cell division of primary bat cells. While three K4DT and one SV40 cell lines were virtually immortalized with normal karyotypes, two SV40 lines had aberrant karyotypes.

Development of a reverse genetics system for Sosuga virus allows rapid screening of antiviral compounds. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Sosuga virus (SOSV) is a recently discovered zoonotic paramyxovirus isolated from a single human case in 2012; it has been ecologically and epidemiologically associated with transmission by the Egyptian rousette bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus).

Paramyxo- and Coronaviruses in Rwandan Bats

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2019
A high diversity of corona- and paramyxoviruses have been detected in different bat species at study sites worldwide, including Africa, however no biosurveillance studies from Rwanda have been reported.

Egyptian rousette bat humoral immunity to H9 influenza hemagglutinin

ABSTRACT In mammals, antibodies are central to antiviral defense, but they can also impose selective pressure that drives viral evolution. The interplay between viral antigenic variation and host antibody diversification constitutes a molecular arms race that influences pathogenicity, transmission, and spillover risk.

Natural reservoir Rousettus aegyptiacus bat host model of orthonairovirus infection identifies potential zoonotic spillover mechanisms

Scientific Reports, 2022
The human-pathogenic Kasokero virus (KASV; genus Orthonairovirus) has been isolated from the sera of Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs; Rousettus aegyptiacus) captured in Uganda and unengorged Ornithodoros (Reticulinasus) faini ticks collected from the rock ...

Mammalian fauna of the Temessos National Park, Turkey

ZooKeys, 2009
The National Park of Termessos, Southern Turkey, is one of the Turkey’s biggest national park not only with its archeological richness but also with its great natural wild life. We provided a checklist of the mammalian fauna of the park on the base
