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 ...

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.

Vaccinia virus protein A46R targets multiple Toll-like-interleukin-1 receptor adaptors and contributes to virulence [PDF]
Viral immune evasion strategies target key aspects of the host antiviral response. Recently, it has been recognized that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have a role in innate defense against viruses.

Autophagic machinery activated by dengue virus enhances virus replication
Autophagy is a cellular response against stresses which include the infection of viruses and bacteria. We unravel that Dengue virus-2 (DV2) can trigger autophagic process in various infected cell lines demonstrated by GFP-LC3 dot formation and increased LC3-II formation.

The precise mechanism by which many virus-based vectors activate immune responses remains unknown. Dendritic cells (DCs) play key roles in priming T cell responses and controlling virus replication, but their functions in generating protective immunity ...

The transcriptional response of Drosophila melanogaster to infection with the sigma virus (Rhabdoviridae). [PDF]
Bacterial and fungal infections induce a potent immune response in Drosophila melanogaster, but it is unclear whether viral infections induce an antiviral immune response.

Locus-specific proteomics identifies novel regulators of Epstein-Barr virus lytic reactivation
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human gamma-herpesvirus which infects over 90% of the global population and is associated with lymphoid and epithelioid cancers. After infection, EBV enters a latent state in B cells, whereby the viral genome persists as

The hepatitis B virus X protein activates nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) by a cyclosporin A-sensitive pathway. [PDF]
The X gene product of the human hepatitis B virus (HBx) is a transcriptional activator of various viral and cellular genes. We recently have determined that the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by HBV-infected hepatocytes is ...

Dengue virus activates polyreactive, natural IgG B cells after primary and secondary infection. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Dengue virus is transmitted by mosquitoes and has four serotypes. Cross-protection to other serotypes lasting for a few months is observed following infection with one serotype.
