We developed murine CMV‐based viral vectors expressing SARS‐CoV‐2 spike antigen and compared immune response following intraperitoneal and intranasal delivery. Route of vaccine administration shaped antibody and CD8+ T cell response magnitude, kinetics, and tissue residency, highlighting the potential of CMV vectors for induction of protective lung ...

An acidic region of the 89K murine cytomegalovirus immediate early protein interacts with DNA [PDF]
The product of the ie 1 gene, the regulatory immediate early protein pp89 of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), interacts with core histones, which can mediate the association of pp89 with DNA.

Expression and function of osteopontin variants in HCV-related liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Osteopontin (OPN) is a highly secreted multi-functional sialoprotein that is widely expressed in tissues, blood and urine. It is involved in a number of normal physiological functions, but is also significantly elevated in a number of cancers.

Drosophila CG3303 is an essential endoribonuclease linked to TDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration [PDF]
Endoribonucleases participate in almost every step of eukaryotic RNA metabolism, acting either as degradative or biosynthetic enzymes. We previously identified the founding member of the Eukaryotic EndoU ribonuclease family, whose components display ...

Innate immune basis for rift valley fever susceptibility in mouse models [PDF]
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) leads to varied clinical manifestations in animals and in humans that range from moderate fever to fatal illness, suggesting that host immune responses are important determinants of the disease severity. We investigated the

Ultrastructure of Kunjin virus-infected cells: Colocalization of NS1 and NS3 with double-stranded RNA, and of NS2B with NS3, in virus-induced membrane structures [PDF]
The subcellular location of the nonstructural proteins NS1, NS2B, and NS3 in Vero cells infected with the flavivirus Kunjin was investigated using indirect immunofluorescence and cryoimmunoelectron microscopy with monospecific antibodies, Comparisons ...
