Modified Cross‐Linking, Ligation, and Sequencing of Hybrids (qCLASH) to Identify MicroRNA Targets
Abstract This protocol was designed to identify microRNA (miRNA) targetomes from smaller‐input samples by performing a simplified workflow of the Cross‐Linking and Sequencing of Hybrids (CLASH) technique developed in the Tollervey group. In this ribonomics‐based technique, Cross‐Linking and Immunoprecipitation (CLIP) of Argonaute (Ago) is combined with

Interleukin 21 signaling in B cells is required for efficient establishment of murine gammaherpesvirus latency. [PDF]
The human gammaherpesviruses take advantage of normal B cell differentiation pathways to establish life-long infection in memory B cells. Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) infection of laboratory strains of mice also leads to life-long infection in ...

Co‐ and polymicrobial infections in the gut mucosa: The host–microbiota–pathogen perspective
Abstract Infections in humans occur in the context of complex niches where the pathogen interacts with both the host microenvironment and immune response, and the symbiotic microbial community. The polymicrobial nature of many human infections adds a further layer of complexity.

Vaccination with a Replication-Dead Murine Gammaherpesvirus Lacking Viral Pathogenesis Genes Inhibits WT Virus Infection. [PDF]
Gammaherpesviruses are oncogenic pathogens that establish lifelong infections. There are no FDA-approved vaccines against Epstein–Barr virus or Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus.

Tracking murine gammaherpesvirus 68 infection of germinal center B cells in vivo.
Infection of mice with murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) provides a tractable small animal model to study various aspects of persistent gammaherpesvirus infection. We have previously utilized a transgenic MHV68 that expresses enhanced yellow fluorescent

Latent gammaherpesvirus 68 infection induces distinct transcriptional changes in different organs [PDF]
Previous studies identified a role for latent herpesvirus infection in cross-protection against infection and exacerbation of chronic inflammatory diseases. Here, we identified more than 500 genes differentially expressed in spleens, livers, or brains of

Rodent herpesvirus Peru encodes a secreted chemokine decoy receptor [PDF]
Viruses have long been studied not only for their pathology and associated disease but also as model systems for understanding cellular and immunological processes. Rodent herpesvirus Peru (RHVP) is a recently characterized rhadinovirus related to murine

Murine gammaherpesvirus M2 antigen modulates splenic B cell activation and terminal differentiation in vivo. [PDF]
Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) infection of laboratory strains of mice has provided a tractable small animal model for dissecting gammaherpesvirus pathogenesis.

Tick-Borne Transmission of Murine Gammaherpesvirus 68
Herpesviruses are a large group of DNA viruses infecting mainly vertebrates. Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) is often used as a model in studies of the pathogenesis of clinically important human gammaherpesviruses such as Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi'
