Influence of genome-scale RNA structure disruption on the replication of murine norovirus--similar replication kinetics in cell culture but attenuation of viral fitness in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mechanisms by which certain RNA viruses, such as hepatitis C virus, establish persistent infections and cause chronic disease are of fundamental importance in viral pathogenesis.

Generation of a TLR7 homozygous knockout human induced pluripotent stem cell line using CRISPR/Cas9

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2019
Toll Like Receptor (TLR) family plays an important role in the activation of innate immunity against pathogens. TLR7 mediates the recognition of single-stranded RNA viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, and influenza virus in ...

The role of pioneering transcription factors, chromatin accessibility and epigenetic reprogramming in oncogenic viruses

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Oncogenic viruses typically manipulate host cellular mechanisms to drive tumorigenesis. They exploit pioneering transcription factors to modify gene expression, enabling uncontrolled proliferation.

Studies on interferon (IFN) induction and isolation of IFN-inducing mutant viruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The interferon (IFN) system is a powerful antiviral defense system. Host cell pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognise pathogen-associated molecule patterns (PAMPs) which when activated, lead to the transcription of the IFN-β gene. As a consequence

Tracking Virus-Specific CD4+ T Cells during and after Acute Hepatitis C Virus Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background. CD4+ T cell help is critical in maintaining antiviral immune responses and such help has been shown to be sustained in acute resolving hepatitis C.

Quantitation of HCV RNA in liver of patients with chronic hepatitis C Quantificação do RNA-HCV no fígado de pacientes com hepatite C crônica

open access: yesArquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2000
Background/Aims - Liver HCV RNA has been quantitated in few studies and the feasibility and the role of this parameter in the evaluation of patients with chronic HCV hepatitis still warrant study. Our aim was to determine the concentrations of HCV RNA in

Dendritic cell function in the setting of chronic hepatitis c infection and changes during antiviral treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The role of the innate immune system and in particular of dendritic cells, in the establishment of chronic hepatitis C has been studied quite extensively over the last few years but controversy remains as to whether a potential virus-induced defect in

A hepatitis C virus cis-acting replication element forms a long-range RNA-RNA interaction with upstream RNA sequences in NS5B [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The genome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) contains cis-acting replication elements (CREs) comprised of RNA stem-loop structures located in both the 5' and 3' non-coding regions (NCR), and in the NS5B coding sequence.

Hepatitis C : host-virus interactions and their impact on treatment response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hepatitis C is a major cause of chronic liver disease with over 120 million infected people worldwide. Untreated chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection leads in 20-50% to liver cirrhosis culminating in cirrhosis-related complications and hepatocellular ...
