Staphylococcal Superantigens Spark Host-Mediated Danger Signals
Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) of Staphylococcus aureus, and related superantigenic toxins produced by myriad microbes, are potent stimulators of the immune system causing a variety of human diseases from transient food poisoning to lethal toxic shock. These protein toxins bind directly to specific Vβ regions of T-cell receptors (TCR) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II on a...
متن کاملDefective viral genomes: critical danger signals of viral infections.
Viruses efficiently block the host antiviral response in order to replicate and spread before host intervention. The mechanism initiating antiviral immunity during stealth viral replication is unknown, but recent data demonstrate that defective viral genomes generated at peak virus replication are critical for this process in vivo. This article summarizes the supporting evidence and highlights ...
متن کاملHost Immune Responses to a Viral Immune Modulating Protein: Immunogenicity of Viral Interleukin-10 in Rhesus Cytomegalovirus-Infected Rhesus Macaques
BACKGROUND Considerable evidence has accumulated that multiple viruses, bacteria, and protozoa manipulate interleukin-10 (IL-10)-mediated signaling through the IL-10 receptor (IL-10R) in ways that could enable establishment of a persistent microbial infection. This suggests that inhibition of pathogen targeting of IL-10/IL-10R signaling could prevent microbial persistence. Human cytomegalovirus...
متن کاملA viral histone h4 joins to eukaryotic nucleosomes and alters host gene expression.
A viral histone H4 (CpBV-H4) is encoded in a polydnavirus, Cotesia plutellae bracovirus. Its predicted amino acid sequence is highly homologous to that of host insect histone H4 except for an extended N-terminal tail containing 38 amino acids with nine lysine residues. Its expression induces an immunosuppression of target insects by suppressing immune-associated genes, presumably through an epi...
