In Vivo Impairment of Neutrophil Recruitment during Lentivirus Infection [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2003 Abstract Evidence indicates that the lentivirus, HIV, infection affects neutrophil response to bacteria and bacterial products in vitro. We used a novel model of rapid onset immunosuppression following infection with a similar lentivirus, feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), in cats to examine neutrophil function within the ...

Occurrence of Puma Lentivirus Infection in Cougars from Washington [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1997 Puma lentivirus (PLV) antibodies were detected in 13 (25%) of 52 serum samples obtained from cougars (Felis concolor) collected by hunters. The serum samples were collected from November 1993 through January 1994 from four specific regions throughout the state of Washington (USA), and included the Olympic Mountains, the Cascade Mountains, the Blue ...

Salmonella produce microRNA-like RNA fragment Sal-1 in the infected cells to facilitate intracellular survival. [PDF]
, 2017 Salmonella have developed a sophisticated machinery to evade immune clearance and promote survival in the infected cells. Previous studies were mostly focused on either bacteria itself or host cells, the interaction mechanism of host-pathogen awaits ...

Viral-induced neurodegenerative disease. [PDF]
, 1999 Viral etiology has been postulated in a variety of neurological diseases in humans, including multiple sclerosis. Several experimental animal models of viral-induced neurodegenerative disease provide insight into potential host- and pathogen-dependent ...

Infection of Dendritic Cells by the Maedi-Visna Lentivirus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2000 ABSTRACTThe early stages of lentivirus infection of dendritic cells have been studied in an in vivo model. Maedi-visna virus (MVV) is a natural pathogen of sheep with a tropism for macrophages, but the infection of dendritic cells has not been proven, largely because of the difficulties of definitively distinguishing the two cell types.

Hepatitis B virus inhibition in mice by lentiviral vector mediated short hairpin RNA
BMC Gastroenterology, 2009 Background Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is an important cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The major challenges for current therapies are the low efficacy of current drugs and the occurrence of drug resistant HBV mutations. RNA
