On the replication of adeno-associated virus in the presence or absence of viral helper functions

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small non-enveloped virus and as a member of the parvovirus family, it contains a single stranded DNA genome. AAV's life cycle in vitro is strongly dependent not only on cellular factors but also on helper functions provid ...

AIM2 recognizes cytosolic dsDNA and forms a caspase-1-activating inflammasome with ASC

Andrea Ablasser

The innate immune system senses nucleic acids by germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors. RNA is sensed by Toll-like receptor members TLR3, TLR7 and TLR8, or by the RNA helicases RIG-I (also known as DDX58) and MDA-5 (IFIH1). Little is known about s ...

TRADD protein is an essential component of the RIG-like helicase antiviral pathway

Etienne Meylan, Jessica Christine Vazquez

Upon detection of viral RNA, the helicases RIG-I and/or MDA5 trigger, via their adaptor Cardif (also known as IPS-1, MAVS, or VISA), the activation of the transcription factors NF-kappaB and IRF3, which collaborate to induce an antiviral type I interferon ...

Suppression of immediate-early viral gene expression by herpesvirus-coded microRNAs: Implications for latency

Jiri Vanicek

A quantitative algorithm was developed and applied to predict target genes of microRNAs encoded by herpesviruses. Although there is almost no conservation among microRNAs of different herpesvirus subfamilies, a common pattern of regulation emerged. The alg ...

Interfering residues narrow the spectrum of MLV restriction by human TRIM5alpha

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Séverine Reynard, Pierre Maillard

TRIM5alpha is a restriction factor that limits infection of human cells by so-called N- but not B- or NB-tropic strains of murine leukemia virus (MLV). Here, we performed a mutation-based functional analysis of TRIM5alpha-mediated MLV restriction. Our resu ...

Mechanisms of neonatal mucosal antibody protection

Nicola Harris, Andrew J. Macpherson

Following an abrupt transition at birth from the sterile uterus to an environment with abundant commensal and pathogenic microbes, neonatal mammals are protected by maternal Abs at mucosal surfaces. We show in mice that different Ab isotypes work in distin ...

[HIV-AIDS: answers to new questions]

Jacques Fellay

The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy 10 years ago has revolutionized the treatment of HIV infection in industrialized countries. HIV infection has now become a chronic condition, often treatable with low number of pills. Pregnancy and c ...

Synthesis and characterisation of some water soluble ruthenium(II)-arene complexes and an investigation of their antibiotic and antiviral properties

Paul Joseph Dyson, Claire Samantha Allardyce

The water soluble ruthenium-p-cymene complexes Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)X-2 (X = Cl, Br, I or NCS), [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)X-2(pta)] (X=Cl, Br, I, or NCS; pta=1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane) and the tetraruthenium cluster [H4Ru4(eta(6)-p-benzene ...

Response to antiretroviral treatment in HIV-1-infected individuals with allelic variants of the multidrug resistance transporter 1: a pharmacogenetics study

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Thierry Buclin

HIV-1-infected patients vary considerably by their response to antiretroviral treatment, drug concentrations in plasma, toxic events, and rate of immune recovery. This variability could have a genetic basis. We did a pharmacogenetics study to analyse the a ...

Living in oblivion: HIV immune evasion

Didier Trono

The human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV, respectively) are members of the lentiviridae subgroup of retroviruses that cause a progressive failure of the host immunological functions culminating in the clinical collapse known as AIDS, or a ...
