Expression of lymphotoxin beta governs immunity at two distinct levels

Interaction of lymphotoxin alpha(1)beta(2) (LTalpha(1)beta(2)) with its receptor is key for the generation and maintenance of secondary lymphoid organ microstructure. We used mice conditionally deficient for LTbeta on different lymphocyte subsets to determ ...

Hide, shield and strike back: how HIV-infected cells avoid immune eradication

Didier Trono

Viruses that induce chronic infections can evade immune responses. HIV is a prototype of this class of pathogen. Not only does it mutate rapidly and make its surface components difficult to access by neutralizing antibodies, but it also creates cellular hi ...

Persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in macrophages and mice requires the glyoxylate shunt enzyme isocitrate lyase

John McKinney

Mycobacterium tuberculosis claims more human lives each year than any other bacterial pathogen. Infection is maintained in spite of acquired immunity and resists eradication by antimicrobials. Despite an urgent need for new therapies targeting persistent b ...

Highly efficient and sustained gene transfer in adult neurons with a lentivirus vector

Didier Trono

The identification of monogenic and complex genes responsible for neurological disorders requires new approaches for delivering therapeutic protein genes to significant numbers of cells in the central nervous system. A lentivirus-based vector capable of in ...

Antiviral defense in mice lacking both alpha/beta and gamma interferon receptors

Michel Aguet

Alpha/beta interferon (IFN) and gamma IFN exert widely overlapping biological effects. Still, mice with individually inactivated alpha/beta or gamma receptors exhibit variably severely reduced resistance to infection and altered immune responses. To invest ...

Antiviral activity of autocrine interferon-beta requires the presence of a functional interferon type I receptor

Michel Aguet

We and others have previously observed that the antiviral effects of autocrine interferon (IFN)-alpha/beta activity cannot be abolished by neutralizing antibodies, even when present to a large excess. This raises the possibility that the major part of auto ...
