Characterization of omental immune aggregates during establishment of a latent gammaherpesvirus infection. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Herpesviruses are characterized by their ability to establish lifelong latent infection. The gammaherpesvirus subfamily is distinguished by lymphotropism, establishing and maintaining latent infection predominantly in B lymphocytes.

RNA-guided gene editing of the murine gammaherpesvirus 68 genome reduces infectious virus production.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) are cancer-causing viruses that establish lifelong infections in humans. Gene editing using the Cas9-guideRNA (gRNA) CRISPR system has been applied to decrease the latent load of EBV in human

Construction of MHV68-H2bYFP.

open access: yes, 2013
A) An expression cassette that expresses a histone H2bYFP fusion protein was cloned into the intergenic region between ORFs 27 and 29b. The cassette was flanked by chromatin insulators (XL9CD) as previously described [4] B). Representative plaques formed

Phosphoproteomic analyses reveal signaling pathways that facilitate lytic gammaherpesvirus replication. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
Lytic gammaherpesvirus (GHV) replication facilitates the establishment of lifelong latent infection, which places the infected host at risk for numerous cancers. As obligate intracellular parasites, GHVs must control and usurp cellular signaling pathways

Maternal Herpesviridae infection during pregnancy alters midbrain dopaminergic signatures in adult offspring

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2022
Background: Motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are apparent after a high proportion of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra have degenerated.

Abbreviated skin allograft survival in MHV68 is not due to MHV68-associated Vβ4+CD8+ expansion.

open access: yes, 2013
A) Representative flow cytometric plots showing TCR Vβ4 staining versus CD8 staining in mice infected with wild-type MHV68 (left) and the mutant M1.STOP MHV68 (right).

CD8+ T Cell Response to Gammaherpesvirus Infection Mediates Inflammation and Fibrosis in Interferon Gamma Receptor-Deficient Mice.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), one of the most severe interstitial lung diseases, is a progressive fibrotic disorder of unknown etiology. However, there is growing appreciation for the role of viral infection in disease induction and/or progression.

A gammaherpesvirus cooperates with interferon-alpha/beta-induced IRF2 to halt viral replication, control reactivation, and minimize host lethality. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2011
The gammaherpesviruses, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), establish latency in memory B lymphocytes and promote lymphoproliferative disease in immunocompromised individuals.

Access of MHV68 to the plasma cell reservoir during MHV68 chronic infection requires a functional M2 gene.

open access: yes, 2013
Mice were infected with a 100 pfu of either MHV68-YFP or M2.Stop-YFP viruses via intranasal inoculation. (A) The absence of MHV68 infected plasma cells in mice infected with the M2.Stop-YFP virus.
