The Protein Kinase Receptor Modulates the Innate Immune Response against Tacaribe Virus
The New World (NW) mammarenavirus group includes several zoonotic highly pathogenic viruses, such as Junin (JUNV) or Machupo (MACV). Contrary to the Old World mammarenavirus group, these viruses are not able to completely suppress the innate immune ...

Affinity Maturated Transferrin Receptor Apical Domain Blocks Machupo Virus Glycoprotein Binding
Transferrin receptor 1 (TfR) delivers iron across cellular membranes by shuttling the ion carrier protein transferrin. This ability to deliver large protein ligands inside cells is taken advantage of by pathogens to infiltrate human cells. Notably, the receptor's outermost ectodomain, the apical domain, is used as a point of attachment for several ...

Pathogenesis of Machupo virus infection in primates.
Experimental Machupo virus infection of rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys produced a severe illness consisting of an initial clinical phase and a later neurological phase. Cumulative mortality during the two phases was 80% and 95% respectively. Attempts to alter the pathogenesis with decomplementation or immunosuppression resulted in earlier deaths of the ...
