Dengue and Zika virus cross-reactive human monoclonal antibodies protect against Spondweni virus infection and pathogenesis in mice [PDF]
, 2019 Summary: Spondweni virus (SPOV) is the flavivirus that is most closely related to Zika virus (ZIKV). Although SPOV causes sporadic human infections in Africa, recently it was found in Culex mosquitoes in Haiti.

Type I interferon sensing unlocks dormant adipocyte inflammatory potential
Nature Communications, 2020 White adipose inflammation can occur in obesity and is at least in part mediated by inflammatory immune cells. Here the authors show that the Type I Interferon/Interferon alpha-beta receptor axis promotes an inflammatory, glycolysis associated adipocyte ...

Type I Interferon Signaling Controls Gammaherpesvirus Latency In Vivo
Pathogens, 2022 Gammaherpesviruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, are important human pathogens involved in lymphoproliferative disorders and tumorigenesis.

PD-1 signaling promotes control of chronic viral infection by restricting type-I-interferon-mediated tissue damage [PDF]
, 2019 Immune responses are essential for pathogen elimination but also cause tissue damage, leading to disease or death. However, it is unclear how the host immune system balances control of infection and protection from the collateral tissue damage.

Analysis of tick-borne encephalitis virus-induced host responses in human cells of neuronal origin and interferon-mediated protection [PDF]
, 2017 Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a member of the genus Flavivirus. It can cause serious infections in humans that may result in encephalitis/meningoencephalitis. Although several studies have described the involvement of specific genes in the host

Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells and cutaneous melanoma [PDF]
, 2020 The prognosis of metastatic melanoma (MM) patients has remained poor for a long time. However, the recent introduction of effective target therapies (BRAF and MEK inhibitors for BRAFV600-mutated MM) and immunotherapies (anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1) has ...

Interplay between SARS-CoV-2 and the type I interferon response.
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic. An unbalanced immune response, characterized by a weak production of type I interferons (IFN-Is) and an exacerbated release of ...

ULK1 in type I interferon response
Oncotarget, 2015 Type I interferon (IFN) signaling leads to transcription and translation of key IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), whose protein products exhibit anti-tumorigenic, anti-viral, and immunomodulatory functions [1–3]. These responses are triggered by the interaction of type I IFNs (IFNα, IFNβ, IFNω) with a unique cell surface receptor composed by two subunits ...

Immunomodulatory functions of type I interferons [PDF]
Nature Reviews Immunology, 2012 Interferon-α (IFNα) and IFNβ, collectively known as type I IFNs, are the major effector cytokines of the host immune response against viral infections. However, the production of type I IFNs is also induced in response to bacterial ligands of innate immune receptors and/or bacterial infections, indicating a broader physiological role for these ...
