Constrained pattern of viral evolution in acute and early HCV infection limits viral plasticity [PDF]
Cellular immune responses during acute Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV infection are a known correlate of infection outcome. Viral adaptation to these responses via mutation(s) within CD8+ T-cell epitopes allows these viruses to subvert host immune ...

Licensed L1-VLP-based immunizations against high-risk mucosal human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been a great success in reducing anogenital cancers, although they are limited in their cross-protection against HPV types not covered by the vaccine ...

Real-time transcriptional profiling of cellular and viral gene expression during lytic cytomegalovirus infection. [PDF]
During viral infections cellular gene expression is subject to rapid alterations induced by both viral and antiviral mechanisms. In this study, we applied metabolic labeling of newly transcribed RNA with 4-thiouridine (4sU-tagging) to dissect the real ...

Host cell-intrinsic antiviral responses are largely mediated by pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) signaling and the interferon (IFN) system. The IFN regulatory factor (IRF) family of transcription factors takes up a central role in transcriptional ...

Cure of chronic viral infection and virus-induced type 1 diabetes by neutralizing antibodies [PDF]
The use of neutralizing antibodies is one of the most successful methods to interfere with receptor–ligand interactions in vivo. In particular blockade of soluble inflammatory mediators or their corresponding cellular receptors was proven an effective ...

Evidence of viral adaptation to HLA class I-restricted immune pressure in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]
Cellular immune responses are an important correlate of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection outcome. These responses are governed by the host's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type, and HLA-restricted viral escape mutants are a critical aspect of this host ...

Cooperative effects of RIG-I-like receptor signaling and IRF1 on DNA damage-induced cell death
Properly responding to DNA damage is vital for eukaryotic cells, including the induction of DNA repair, growth arrest and, as a last resort to prevent neoplastic transformation, cell death.

Influenza A virus ribonucleoproteins form liquid organelles at endoplasmic reticulum exit sites
Influenza A virus forms cytosolic inclusions containing viral ribonucleoproteins. Here, the authors show that viral inclusions form juxtaposed the endoplasmic reticulum and have liquid properties, likely constituting sites of assembly of epidemic and ...

Viral dynamics during structured treatment interruptions of chronic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection [PDF]
Although antiviral agents which block human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication can result in long-term suppression of viral loads to undetectable levels in plasma, long-term therapy fails to eradicate virus, which generally rebounds after a single ...

One Step Ahead: Herpesviruses Light the Way to Understanding Interferon-Stimulated Genes (ISGs)
The host immune system is engaged in a constant battle with microorganisms, with the immediate detection of pathogenic invasion and subsequent signalling acting as crucial deterrents against the establishment of a successful infection.
