Properties of Defective Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
Summary The symptoms and histopathology of many virus diseases depend not so much on damage to the cells by virus but on the immunological reaction to the infection. The earliest (Traub, 1935) and still extensively studied (Oldstone & Dixon, 1970) infection of this type is murine lymphocytic choriomeningitis.

Structural basis for antibody-mediated neutralization of Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus
The mammarenavirus Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a globally distributed zoonotic pathogen that can be lethal in immunocompromised patients and cause severe birth defects if acquired during pregnancy.

Congenitally acquired persistent lymphocytic choriomeningitis viral infection reduces neuronal progenitor pools in the adult hippocampus and subventricular zone [PDF]
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) can be transmitted through congenital infection, leading to persistent infection of numerous organ systems including the central nervous system (CNS).

Risk of infections transmitted by arthropods and rodents in forestry workers. [PDF]
One hundred and fifty-one forestry workers and 151 matched office clerks were compared as to the presence of antibodies against Borelia burgdorferi, tick-borne encephalitis virus, Puumalavirus and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 is an antiviral regulator acting through the proto-oncogene MET
The innate antiviral immune response is an important defense against infection. Here, the authors show that leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) promotes RIG-I-mediated innate immune responses by preventing its degradation, and inhibits ...

Slow viral propagation during initial phase of infection leads to viral persistence in mice
Using different strains of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), Xu, Wang et al. show that a slow viral propagation limits type I interferon (IFN-I) production and viral persistence in mice.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)-based viral vectors have been shown to induce potent antitumor immune responses. Here the authors show that a LCMV-based vaccine vector remodels the tumor-associated fibroblastic stroma, sustaining CD8+ T cell ...
