Anti-RNA virus activity of polyoxometalates
The anti-RNA virus activity of polyoxometalates (POM) is reviewed, with a special emphasis on the anti-respiratory virus activities. There are many causative agents of acute viral respiratory infections; and it is rather difficult to identify the relevant agent in a given case by rapid clinical means.

Interferon-beta pretreatment of conventional and plasmacytoid human dendritic cells enhances their activation by influenza virus. [PDF]
Influenza virus produces a protein, NS1, that inhibits infected cells from releasing type I interferon (IFN) and blocks maturation of conventional dendritic cells (DCs).

Map3k14 as a Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Response during Acute Viral Infection
The replication of virus in secondary lymphoid organs is crucial for the activation of antigen-presenting cells. Balanced viral replication ensures the sufficient availability of antigens and production of cytokines, and both of which are needed for ...

Endosymbiotic RNA virus inhibits Leishmania-induced caspase-11 activation
Summary: New World species of the intracellular protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus can cause mucocutaneous leishmaniases. The presence of an endosymbiotic Leishmania RNA virus (LRV) in Leishmania guyanensis (L.g.) promotes disease exacerbation ...

Activation of TLR4 by viral glycoproteins: A double-edged sword?
Recognition of viral infection by pattern recognition receptors is paramount for a successful immune response to viral infection. However, an unbalanced proinflammatory response can be detrimental to the host.

Chronic active varicella zoster virus infection [PDF]
This case report illustrates previously undescribed features of chronic active varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, including a 4-month delay between the onset of zoster and zoster sine herpete, involvement of 9 dermatomes on progression of zoster to zoster sine herpete, and the presence of both VZV DNA and anti-VZV immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the CSF.

Human Pegivirus Type 1: A Common Human Virus That Is Beneficial in Immune-Mediated Disease?
Two groups identified a novel human flavivirus in the mid-1990s. One group named the virus hepatitis G virus (HGV) and the other named it GB Virus type C (GBV-C).

ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

The Chikungunya Virus nsP3 Macro Domain Inhibits Activation of the NF-κB Pathway
The role of the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) non-structural protein 3 (nsP3) in the virus lifecycle is poorly understood. The protein comprises three domains.
