Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Serological evidence of Zika virus infection in febrile patients at Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Accra Ghana

BMC Research Notes, 2019
Objective Increase in the evidence of global occurrence of Zika viral infection suggests that in Africa the circulation of the virus which causes 80% of asymptomatic infection could be undetected and/or overlooked.

Tick‐Borne Encephalitis (TBE) Vaccine in the National Immunisation Programme—For Whom, When and Where?

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The incidence of Tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) cases has increased. The presumed location of transmission of Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) has been expanding increasingly in the western parts of Europe during the past decade. There has also been an increased incidence of surveillance‐reported TBE cases in southern Sweden and southern ...

Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus‐HSP70‐shRNA Amplifies Viral Replication, ROS/Autophagy, and Immunity to Fight Colorectal Cancer

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
OncoVV‑shHSP70, a vaccinia virus silencing HSP70, demonstrated potent antitumor efficacy in colorectal cancer cell lines, as well as in syngeneic, xenograft, and humanized mouse models. In cell lines, oncoVV‑shHSP70 promoted viral oncolysis and cytokine production through a self‑reinforcing cycle of ROS‑autophagy. In both CT26 and SW620‑humanized mouse
