Bacteriophages as Pathogens and Immune Modulators?
While Shiga toxins (Stx) are key determinants of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) pathophysiology in humans, their dissemination to target organs following gastrointestinal EHEC infection is still poorly understood. Most types of Stx target cells with globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) receptors, which are expressed on endothelial cells. According to current theory, Stx is trafficked on the s...
متن کاملComparison of five bacteriophages as models for viral aerosol studies.
Bacteriophages are perceived to be good models for the study of airborne viruses because they are safe to use, some of them display structural features similar to those of human and animal viruses, and they are relatively easy to produce in large quantities. Yet, only a few studies have investigated them as models. It has previously been demonstrated that aerosolization, environmental condition...
متن کاملGlobal Screening for Human Viral Pathogens
We propose a system for continuing surveillance of viral pathogens circulating in large human populations. We base this system on the physical isolation of viruses from large pooled samples of human serum and plasma (e.g., discarded specimens from diagnostic laboratories), followed by shotgun sequencing of the resulting genomes. The technology for concentrating virions from 100-L volumes was de...
متن کاملViral pathogens as novel activators of procoagulant signalling.
Thromb Haemost 2009; 101: 993–994 Toll-like receptors (TLR) constitute a protein family of 13 different mammalian subtypes of heterodimeric immune receptors which are activated by a diverse range of molecules specific to certain microbial hazards. Among them, TLR subtype receptor 3 (TLR3) is unique because it is activated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) of viral pathogens. Polyinosinic:polycytid...
متن کاملA new insight into viral proteins as Immunomodulatory therapeutic agents. KSHV vOX2 a homolog of human CD200 as a potent anti-inflammatory protein
The physiologic function of the immune system is defense against infectious microbes and internal tumour cells, Therefore, need to have precise modulatory mechanisms to maintain the body homeostasis. The mammalian cellular CD200 (OX2)/CD200R interaction is one of such modulatory mechanisms in which myeloid and lymphoid cells are regulated. CD200 and CD200R molecules are membrane proteins that t...
