Coronavirus Endoribonuclease Activity in Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus Suppresses Type I and Type III Interferon Responses

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2019
Coronaviruses (CoVs) can emerge from an animal reservoir into a naive host species to cause pandemic respiratory or gastrointestinal diseases with significant mortality in humans or domestic animals.

Type III Interferons in Antiviral Defenses at Barrier Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Immunology, 2018
Barrier surfaces such as the epithelium lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts, the endothelium comprising the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and placental trophoblasts provide key physical and immunological protection against viruses. These barriers utilize nonredundant mechanisms to suppress viral infections including the production of ...

TLR3, TLR4 and TLRs7-9 Induced Interferons Are Not Impaired in Airway and Blood Cells in Well Controlled Asthma.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Defective Rhinovirus induced interferon-β and interferon-λ production has been reported in bronchial epithelial cells from asthmatics but the mechanisms of defective interferon induction in asthma are unknown.

Life-Threatening Influenza, Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis and Probable Vaccine-Strain Varicella in a Novel Case of Homozygous STAT2 Deficiency

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
STAT2 is a transcription factor that plays an essential role in antiviral immunity by mediating the activity of type I and III interferons (IFN-I and IFN-III).

Astrocyte Control of Zika Infection Is Independent of Interferon Type I and Type III Expression

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a pathogenic neurotropic virus that infects the central nervous system (CNS) and results in various neurological complications. Astrocytes are the dominant CNS cell producer of the antiviral cytokine IFN-β, however little is known ...

Oncolytic parainfluenza virus combines with NK cells to mediate killing of infected and non-infected lung cancer cells within 3D spheroids: role of type I and type III interferon signaling

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2021
Background There is intense interest in developing novel oncolytic viruses, which can be used in cancer therapies along with immune cells such as natural killer (NK) cells.

Antiviral Type I and Type III Interferon Responses in the Central Nervous System

open access: yesViruses, 2013
The central nervous system (CNS) harbors highly differentiated cells, such as neurons that are essential to coordinate the functions of complex organisms. This organ is partly protected by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) from toxic substances and pathogens

Minicircle DNA vector expressing interferon-lambda-3 inhibits hepatitis B virus replication and expression in hepatocyte-derived cell line

open access: yesBMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2020
Background Interferon-alpha (IFNα) is a first-line treatment option for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, but the severe systemic side-effects limited its clinical application. Interferon-lambda (IFNλ) with comparable antiviral activity and less

Lambda Interferon Restructures the Nasal Microbiome and Increases Susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus Superinfection

open access: yesmBio, 2016
Much of the morbidity and mortality associated with influenza virus respiratory infection is due to bacterial coinfection with pathogens that colonize the upper respiratory tract such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and ...

Novel Nonviral Bioassays for Mouse Type I and Type III Interferon [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, 2011
We used embryo fibroblasts from Mx2-Luc transgenic mice that express Firefly luciferase under control of the interferon (IFN)-regulated mouse Mx2 promoter to develop simple nonviral bioassays for type I and type III IFN. Since type III IFN is acid-labile, Mx2-Luc fibroblasts detected the presence of type I IFN in acid-treated biological samples with ...
