Highly sensitive detection of influenza virus with SERS aptasensor.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Highly sensitive and rapid technology of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was applied to create aptasensors for influenza virus detection. SERS achieves 106-109 times signal amplification, yielding excellent sensitivity, whereas aptamers to ...

Isolation of novel sequences targeting highly variable viral protein hemagglutinin

open access: yesMethodsX, 2015
Rapid evolution is a hallmark of the viral kingdom and a major concern for developing universal vaccines. The isolation of substantial numbers of viral sequence variants at highly variable viral protein domains remains a major challenge. We previously developed a combinatorial method for the isolation of novel sequences to cope with rapid viral ...

Uptake of reovirus serotype 1 by the lungs from the bloodstream is mediated by the viral hemagglutinin [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 1988
We used the mammalian reoviruses to determine the molecular basis of the clearance of a virus from the bloodstream by specific organs. Reovirus serotypes 1 (T1) and 3 (T3) were radiolabeled with [35S]methionine or 125I, and the viruses were injected intravenously into weanling rats. The distribution of radioactivity within the animals was determined at

Antigenic variability and conserved epitopes in influenza: Challenges and opportunities for universal vaccine design

open access: yesDuazary
Influenza is a highly transmissible viral infection characterized by significant antigenic variability, leading to seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Somatostatin receptor 4 (SSTR4) is a tumor suppressor in cutaneous and head & neck squamous cell carcinomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

A Homogenous Fluorescence Quenching Based Assay for Specific and Sensitive Detection of Influenza Virus A Hemagglutinin Antigen

open access: yesSensors, 2015
Influenza pandemics cause millions of deaths worldwide. Effective surveillance is required to prevent their spread and facilitate the development of appropriate vaccines.

The C‐terminal truncated splicing variant of NK1R negatively modulates substance P‐stimulated NK1R signaling

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...

Influenza virus hemagglutinin concentrates in lipid raft microdomains for efficient viral fusion [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
Lipid raft microdomains are enriched in sphingomyelin and cholesterol and function as platforms for signal transduction and as the site of budding of several enveloped viruses, including influenza virus. The influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein, which mediates both viral-cell attachment and membrane fusion, associates intrinsically with ...

Viral antigen mediated NKp46 activation of NK cells results in tumor rejection via NK-DC crosstalk

open access: yes, 2012
Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in antitumor immunity, their activation being regulated through NK cell receptors. Although the endogenous ligands for these receptors are largely unknown, viral ligands have been identified. We investigated
