Targeting the CD47–SIRPα phagocytic checkpoint in cancer: Biology, translational opportunities, and next‐generation therapeutic strategies

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The CD47–SIRPα axis has emerged as a critical innate immune checkpoint that suppresses macrophage‐mediated phagocytosis through a canonical “don't eat me” signal and enables tumor immune evasion. We comprehensively summarize the structural and biological features of CD47 and the molecular mechanisms underlying CD47‐mediated regulation of phagocytosis ...

Compact, Synthetic, Vaccinia Virus Early/Late Promoter for Protein Expression

BioTechniques, 1997
Vaccinia virus, a member of the poxvirus family, is widely used as a mammalian cell expression vector. Vaccinia virus replicates in the cytoplasm and has its own transcriptional system, making it necessary to use viral promoters.

The vaccinia virus K7 protein promotes histone methylation associated with heterochromatin formation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
It has been well established that many vaccinia virus proteins suppress host antiviral pathways by targeting the transcription of antiviral proteins, thus evading the host innate immune system. However, whether viral proteins have an effect on the host's

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Induction of Noxa-mediated apoptosis by modified vaccinia virus Ankara depends on viral recognition by cytosolic helicases, leading to IRF-3/IFN-β-dependent induction of pro-apoptotic Noxa. [PDF]

, 2011
Viral infection is a stimulus for apoptosis, and in order to sustain viral replication many viruses are known to carry genes encoding apoptosis inhibitors. F1L, encoded by the orthopoxvirus modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) has a Bcl-2-like structure.

Susceptibility of different leukocyte cell types to Vaccinia virus infection

Virology Journal, 2004
Background Vaccinia virus, the prototype member of the family Poxviridae, was used extensively in the past as the Smallpox vaccine, and is currently considered as a candidate vector for new recombinant vaccines.

Therapeutic potential of natural products in cancer immunotherapy: Advances and challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review systematically outlines the mechanisms underlying tumour immunotherapy resistance and elucidates the role of natural products in enhancing therapeutic efficacy as immunomodulatory adjuvants. Abstract Immunotherapy has emerged as a clinically pivotal approach in cancer treatment, but its application remains limited to a small subset of ...

An intradermal model for vaccinia virus pathogenesis in mice

, 2016
Intradermal injection of vaccinia virus in the ear pinnae of mice provides a model of dermal infection and vaccination. The key features of this model are the appearance of a lesion on the surface of the ear that can be measured as a clinical sign of ...

Vaccinia Scars Associated with Improved Survival among Adults in Rural Guinea-Bissau [PDF]

, 2006
Background: In urban Guinea-Bissau, adults with a vaccinia scar had better survival but also a higher prevalence of HIV-2 infection. We therefore investigated the association between vaccinia scar and survival and HIV infection in a rural area of Guinea ...
