Dengue Virus Serotype 2 and Its Non-Structural Proteins 2A and 2B Activate NLRP3 Inflammasome
Dengue is the most prevalent and rapidly transmitted mosquito-borne viral disease of humans. One of the fundamental innate immune responses to viral infections includes the processing and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL-1β ...

A fatal case of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation during long-term, very-low-dose steroid treatment in an inactive HBV carrier [PDF]
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) may be reactivated after chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy, and therefore administration of antiviral agents before such treatment is recommended.

The Haemagglutinating Activity of Berne Virus
Berne virus possesses haemagglutinating activity which is inhibited by antisera that neutralize the infectivity of the virus. In decreasing order, human, rabbit and guinea-pig erythrocytes were agglutinated whereas agglutination was not observed with rat, goose, chicken or horse red blood cells. This pattern is different from that seen with the closely

Activation of the beta interferon promoter by paramyxoviruses in the absence of virus protein synthesis [PDF]
Conflicting reports exist regarding the requirement for virus replication in interferon (IFN) induction by paramyxoviruses. Our previous work has demonstrated that pathogen-associated molecular patterns capable of activating the IFN-induction cascade are

Porcine Trypsin in the Manufacture of Biological Medicinal Products. Risks and Safety Requirements
Trypsin is a reagent widely used in the manufacture of biological medicinal products (BMPs). Until recently, pancreata of cattle, pigs and poultry were the main sources of trypsin preparations. The discovery of the disease called «transmissive spongiform

Activation thermodynamics of virus adsorption to solids [PDF]
The kinetics of bacteriophage MS2, T2, and f2 adsorption to powdered nitrocellulose and disrupted Seitz S1 filters at pH 7 were determined as a function of temperature. Data from these studies were combined with data produced in a previous study on MS2 adsorption to clay by Stagg et al. (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 33:385-391, 1977).

Blocking TLR7- and TLR9-mediated IFN-α Production by Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Does Not Diminish Immune Activation in Early SIV Infection [PDF]
Persistent production of type I interferon (IFN) by activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) is a leading model to explain chronic immune activation in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection but direct evidence for this is lacking.

An investigation of herpes simplex virus promoter activity compatible with latency establishment reveals VP16-independent activation of immediate-early promoters in sensory neurones [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-1 establishes lifelong latency in sensory neurones and it is widely assumed that latency is the consequence of a failure to initiate virus immediate-early (IE) gene expression. However, using a Ore reporter mouse system in

Host response to RNA virus infection is sensed by RNA sensors such as RIG-I, which induces MAVS-mediated NF-κB and IRF3 activation to promote inflammatory and antiviral responses, respectively.
