Respiratory antiviral immunity and immunobiotics: Beneficial effects on inflammation-coagulation interaction during influenza virus infection [PDF]

, 2016
Influenza virus (IFV) is a major respiratory pathogen of global importance, and the cause of a high degree of morbidity and mortality, especially in high-risk populations such as infants, elderly, and immunocompromised hosts.

Structural Insights Into Man9 Recognition by the HIV Antibody 2G12 Revealed by Paramagnetic NMR

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The HIV gp120 glycoprotein displays Man9 oligomannose structures that are recognized by the neutralizing antibody 2G12. Detailed characterization of the binding epitope in solution is important for immunogen design but remains challenging, since the signals of the terminal mannoses from the three arms of Man9 (D1, D2, and D3) cannot be distinguished in

Heterologous prime-boost vaccination with H3N2 influenza viruses of swine favors cross-clade antibody responses and protection [PDF]

, 2017
The emergence of multiple novel lineages of H1 and H3 influenza A viruses in swine has confounded control by inactivated vaccines. Because of substantial genetic and geographic heterogeneity among circulating swine influenza viruses, one vaccine strain ...

Structural Analysis of the Evolutionary Origins of Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin and Other Viral Lectins [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2013
ABSTRACT Influenza virus and other viruses use host cell surface sugars as receptors. Here we show that the sugar-binding domains in influenza virus hemagglutinin and other viral lectins share the same structural fold as human galectins (host lectins).

ZDHHC18‐Mediated Palmitoylation of ORF3a Promotes SARS‐CoV‐2 Pathogenesis by Antagonizing TRIM16‐Mediated Ubiquitination and Proteasomal Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Palmitoylation by ZDHHC18 blocks ORF3a K27‐linked ubiquitination mediated by TRIM16, thereby preventing its proteasomal degradation and strengthening viral pathogenesis. Targeting palmitoylation through a pharmacological inhibitor (2‐BP), a competitive inhibitory peptide (OPIP), or adenovirus‐mediated knockdown of ZDHHC18 expression presents a ...

Dependence of the energies of fusion on the intermembrane separation: optimal and constrained

, 2007
We calculate the characteristic energies of fusion between planar bilayers as afunction of the distance between them, measured from the hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface of one of the two nearest, cis, leaves to the other.

Inhibition of Influenza A Virus Replication by Compounds Interfering with the Fusogenic Function of the Viral Hemagglutinin [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1999
ABSTRACT Several compounds that specifically inhibited replication of the H1 and H2 subtypes of influenza virus type A were identified by screening a chemical library for antiviral activity. In single-cycle infections, the compounds inhibited virus-specific protein synthesis when added before or immediately after infection but were ...

Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.
