TMPRSS2 Is Essential for SARS-CoV-2 Beta and Omicron Infection

open access: yesViruses, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic remains a global health threat and novel antiviral strategies are urgently needed. SARS-CoV-2 employs the cellular serine protease TMPRSS2 for entry into lung cells, and TMPRSS2 inhibitors are being developed for COVID-19 therapy ...

Low concordance of oral and genital HPV infection among male patients with sexually transmitted infections in Vietnam

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cancers in men, including penile, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence, the genotypes, and the risk factors of HPV infections in the oral cavity ...

Systematical assessment of the impact of single spike mutations of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-variants on the neutralization capacity of post-vaccination sera

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionThe evolution of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants significantly affects vaccine effectiveness. While these effects can only be studied retrospectively, neutralizing antibody titers are most used as correlates of protection.

The influence of viral infection on a plankton ecosystem undergoing nutrient enrichment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
It is increasingly recognised that viruses are a significant active component of oceanic plankton ecosystems. They play an important role in biogeochemical cycles as well as being implicated in observed patterns of species abundance and diversity.

Escaping high viral load exhaustion: CD8 cells with altered tetramer binding in chronic hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Deletion, anergy, and a spectrum of functional impairments can affect virus-specific CD8 cells in chronic viral infections. Here we characterize a low frequency population of CD8 cells present in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection which survive in

Viral entry and escape from antibody-mediated neutralization influence hepatitis C virus reinfection in liver transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
End-stage liver disease caused by chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause for liver transplantation (LT). Due to viral evasion from host immune responses and the absence of preventive antiviral strategies, reinfection of the graft is

Plasma HIV viral rebound following protocol-indicated cessation of ART commenced in primary and chronic HIV infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
OBJECTIVES: The magnitude of HIV viral rebound following ART cessation has consequences for clinical outcome and onward transmission. We compared plasma viral load (pVL) rebound after stopping ART initiated in primary (PHI) and chronic HIV infection (CHI)

Liquid Biomolecular Condensates and Viral Lifecycles: Review and Perspectives

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Viruses are highly dependent on the host they infect. Their dependence triggers processes of virus–host co-adaptation, enabling viruses to explore host resources whilst escaping immunity.

Cytomegalovirus microRNAs facilitate persistent virus infection in salivary glands. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Micro (mi)RNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of their targets' messenger RNAs through both translational inhibition and regulation of target RNA stability.

Alpha/beta and gamma interferons are induced by infection with noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In contrast to the results of previous in vitro studies, experimental infection of calves with noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (ncpBVDV) was found to induce strong alpha/beta and gamma interferon responses in gnotobiotic animals.
