Probing the Immune System Dynamics of the COVID-19 Disease for Vaccine Designing and Drug Repurposing Using Bioinformatics Tools

open access: yesImmuno, 2022
The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is complicated by immune dysfunction. The impact of immune-based therapy in COVID-19 patients has been well documented, with some notable studies on the use of anti-cytokine medicines.

Interferon α2 and interferon γ induce the degranulation independent production of VEGF‐A and IL‐1 receptor antagonist and other mediators from human mast cells

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2018
Background Mast cells are resident immune effector cells, often studied in the context of allergic disease. Found in substantial numbers at sites of potential infection they are increased at sites of angiogenesis and can be pivotal for the sensing and ...

Innate Immune Sensing of Viruses and Its Consequences for the Central Nervous System

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Viral infections remain a global public health concern and cause a severe societal and economic burden. At the organismal level, the innate immune system is essential for the detection of viruses and constitutes the first line of defense.

Hepatitis C Virus Infection: Host–Virus Interaction and Mechanisms of Viral Persistence

open access: yesCells, 2019
Hepatitis C (HCV) is a major cause of liver disease, in which a third of individuals with chronic HCV infections may develop liver cirrhosis. In a chronic HCV infection, host immune factors along with the actions of HCV proteins that promote viral ...

African Swine Fever Virus Infection and Cytokine Response In Vivo: An Update

open access: yesViruses, 2023
African swine fever (ASF) is a hemorrhagic viral disease of domestic pigs and wild suids (all Sus scrofa) caused by the ASF virus (ASFV). The disease is spreading worldwide without control, threatening pig production due to the absence of licensed ...

Synthesis of IFN-β by Virus-Infected Chicken Embryo Cells Demonstrated with Specific Antisera and a New Bioassay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Transcripts of interferon-α(IFN-α) and IFN-β genes are present in virus-infected chicken cells, but because of a lack of appropriate assays and reagents, it was unclear if biologically active IFN-β is secreted.

Efficacy of oseltamivir treatment in influenza virus-infected obese mice

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Obesity has been epidemiologically and empirically linked with more severe diseases upon influenza infection. To ameliorate severe disease, treatment with antivirals, such as the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir, is suggested to begin within days of ...

Innate immune system activation in zebrafish and cellular models of Diamond Blackfan Anemia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Deficiency of ribosomal proteins (RPs) leads to Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) associated with anemia, congenital defects, and cancer. While p53 activation is responsible for many features of DBA, the role of immune system is less defined.

Treatment of hepatitis C virus infection: From therapy with interferon to direct-acting antivirals

open access: yesIatreia, 2023
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global public health concern. An estimated of 58 million people with chronic HCV infection are at risk of developing cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma.

Vaccinia virus immune evasion: mechanisms, virulence and immunogenicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Virus infection of mammalian cells is sensed by pattern recognition receptors and leads to an innate immune response that restricts virus replication and induces adaptive immunity.
