Locus-specific proteomics identifies novel regulators of Epstein-Barr virus lytic reactivation

Journal of Virology
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

Toll-like receptor 4 mediates synergism between alcohol and HCV in hepatic oncogenesis involving stem cell marker Nanog [PDF]

, 2009
Alcohol synergistically enhances the progression of liver disease and the risk for liver cancer caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, the molecular mechanism of this synergy remains unclear.

Chronic active varicella zoster virus infection [PDF]

Neurology, 2012
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?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
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).

How do medical researchers make causal inferences? [PDF]

, 2019
Bradford Hill (1965) highlighted nine aspects of the complex evidential situation a medical researcher faces when determining whether a causal relation exists between a disease and various conditions associated with it.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Amino acid substitutions at the HIV-1 transframe region significantly impair virus infectivity.

PLoS ONE, 2022
A transframe region within HIV-1 Gag-Pol (referred to as p6* or p6pol), directly linked to the protease (PR) N-terminus, plays a pivotal role in modulating PR activation. To identify specific p6* residues involved in PR activation, we created a series of

NK cells as effectors of acquired immune responses: effector CD4+ T cell-dependent activation of NK cells following vaccination.

, 2010
We characterized vaccine-induced cellular responses to rabies virus in naive adult volunteers. Contrary to current paradigms, we observed potent and prolonged in vitro NK cell cytokine production and degranulation responses after restimulation of PBMCs ...

The Haemagglutinating Activity of Berne Virus

Journal of General Virology, 1986
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

Anti-Herpes Virus Activity Of Lactobacillus’ Postbiotics

BioMedicine, 2022
Recently various lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their post-metabolites have shown many positive effects on human and animal welfare. They appear to be beneficial in different disorders and pathological conditions, including in a broad-spectrum of infectious diseases.To estimate in vitro the anti-herpes simplex activity of 11 postbiotic samples (lysates
