Immunity: Insect Immune Memory Goes Viral [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Adaptive memory in insect immunity has been controversial. In this issue, Andino and co-workers propose that acquisition of viral sequences in the host genome gives rise to anti-sense, anti-viral piRNAs. Such sequences can be regarded as both a genomic archive of past infections and as an armour of potential heritable memory.

Viral mechanisms of immune evasion [PDF]
Immunology Today, 2000 During the millions of years they have coexisted with their hosts, viruses have learned how to manipulate host immune control mechanisms. Viral gene functions provide an overview of many relevant principles in cell biology and immunology. Our knowledge of viral gene functions must be integrated into virus-host interaction networks to understand viral ...

Different HCV Exposure Drives Specific miRNA Profile in PBMCs of HIV Patients
Biomedicines, 2021 Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are essential players in HIV and HCV infections, as both viruses modulate cellular miRNAs and interact with the miRNA-mediated host response.
