The interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) are broad-spectrum antiviral proteins that inhibit the entry of enveloped viruses. We analyzed the effect of IFITMs on the gamma-2 herpesviruses Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and the

Foamy viruses (FVs) are naturally found in many different animals and also in primates with the notable exception of humans, but zoonotic infections are common. In several species, two different envelope (env) gene sequence clades or genotypes exist.

Antibodies Targeting KSHV gH/gL Reveal Distinct Neutralization Mechanisms
Kaposi’s sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) is associated with a significant disease burden, in particular in Sub-Sahara Africa. A KSHV vaccine would be highly desirable, but the mechanisms underlying neutralizing antibody responses against KSHV remain largely ...

Investigation on colorectal cancer and human herpesvirus infection among Algerian patients
Introduction: Herpesviruses are a widespread family of double-stranded DNA viruses that establish life-long persistent infection in their hosts. Cumulative evidence tends to argue for the association of human herpesviruses, such as Kaposi's sarcoma ...

APOBECs and Herpesviruses [PDF]
The apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC) family of DNA cytosine deaminases provides a broad and overlapping defense against viral infections. Successful viral pathogens, by definition, have evolved strategies to escape restriction by the APOBEC enzymes of their hosts. HIV-1 and related retroviruses are thought to be
