The infection of murine gammaherpesvirus-68 delays the early embryonic development of zebrafish
Zebrafish is a model animal for aquaculture as well as bio-medicine. Murine gamma-herpesvirus 68 (MHV68) is widely regarded as a model for the study of human gamma herpesviruses such as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV).

Eph receptor tyrosine kinases are functional entry receptors for murine gammaherpesvirus 68. [PDF]
Interactions between viral glycoproteins and cellular receptors determine virus tropism and represent promising targets for vaccines. Eph receptor tyrosine kinases are conserved receptors for the human oncogenic gammaherpesviruses, Kaposi sarcoma ...

CD95-CD95L interaction mediates the growth control of MHV68 immortalized B cells by cytotoxic T cells [PDF]
In conclusion, our current data demonstrate that MHV68-immortalized SL-1 cells can be recognized and controlled by specific cytotoxic T cells through CD95/CD95L-mediated apoptosis. This is in agreement with that CD4 T cells control the growth of EBV-infected cells through CD95/CD95L-mediated apoptosis, which suggests that the growth control of ...

Early antiviral treatment following gammaherpesvirus-68 infection of the central nervous system prevents subsequent multiple sclerosis-like disease [PDF]
Background Growing evidence indicates that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a gammaherpesvirus, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS).

To study the CD8(+) T cell response against a mouse γ-herpes virus, we generated K(b)-MHV-68-ORF8(604-612)RAG(-/-) CD8(+) T cell receptor transnuclear (TN) mice as a source of virus-specific CD8(+) T cells. K(b)-ORF8-Tet(+) CD8(+) T cells, expanded in the course of a resolving MHV-68 infection, served as a source of nucleus donors.

Gammaherpesvirus infection triggers the formation of tRNA fragments from premature tRNAs [PDF]
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are fundamental for both cellular and viral gene expression during viral infection. In addition, mounting evidence supports the biological function for tRNA cleavage products, including the control of gene expression during ...

A replication-deficient gammaherpesvirus vaccine protects mice from lytic disease and reduces latency establishment [PDF]
Gammaherpesviruses are oncogenic viruses that establish lifelong infections and are significant causes of morbidity and mortality. Vaccine strategies to limit gammaherpesvirus infection and disease are in development, but there are no FDA-approved ...
