Association of MHC-I genotypes with disease progression in HIV/SIV infections
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are major effectors in acquired immune responses against viral infection. Virus-specific CTLs recognize specific viral peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex-class I (MHC-I) on the surface of ...

Towards a comprehensive view of the herpes B virus
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Herpes B virus is a biosafety level 4 pathogen and widespread in its natural host species, macaques. Although most infected monkeys show asymptomatic or mild symptoms, human infections with this virus can cause serious neurological symptoms or fatal ...

Weakness and Paraparesis: A Common Presentation of the Rare Retrovirus HTLV
Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2023 Limited knowledge exists about human T-lymphotropic virus and its many subtypes, various clinical presentations, devastating sequelae, and potential treatment options. In this case, a 62-year-old woman of Haitian descent presented with a constellation of

Slow viral propagation during initial phase of infection leads to viral persistence in mice
Communications Biology, 2021 Using different strains of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), Xu, Wang et al. show that a slow viral propagation limits type I interferon (IFN-I) production and viral persistence in mice.

The role of conformity in mask-wearing during COVID-19.
PLoS ONE, 2021 By September 2020, COVID-19 had claimed the lives of almost 1 million people worldwide, including more than 400,000 in the U.S. and Europe [1] To slow the spread of the virus, health officials advised social distancing, regular handwashing, and wearing a

Inhibitors of the interferon response enhance virus replication in vitro.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Virus replication efficiency is influenced by two conflicting factors, kinetics of the cellular interferon (IFN) response and induction of an antiviral state versus speed of virus replication and virus-induced inhibition of the IFN response.
