Viral Determinants of HIV-1 Macrophage Tropism
Macrophages are important target cells for HIV-1 infection that play significant roles in the maintenance of viral reservoirs and other aspects of pathogenesis. Understanding the determinants of HIV-1 tropism for macrophages will inform HIV-1 control and eradication strategies. Tropism for macrophages is both qualitative (infection or not) and quantitative (replication capacity). For example ma...
متن کاملViral Tropism
The authors in this Research Topic have highlighted the importance of viral tropism by presenting biological phenomena and their underpinning host cellular and molecular bases. The biologically unique phenomenon of viral tropism is not only of interest to virologists to bring progress to their basic science but also highly relevant to clinical studies with the goal to design new anti-viral stra...
متن کاملEffects of intrapulmonary viral tropism and cytokine expression on the histological patterns of cytomegalovirus pneumonia
Pulmonary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection causes fatal CMV pneumonia (CMVp) in immunocompromised patients; however, the mechanisms underlying CMV-infection-induced pulmonary lesion development remain largely unknown. We examined the relationship between CMVp patterns and intrapulmonary viral tropism, including expression of inflammatory cytokines and related molecules. Double immunohistochemist...
متن کاملDeterminants of organ tropism of sendai virus.
Wild-type Sendai virus is exclusively pneumotropic in mice. Protease activation mutants, ts-f1 and F1-R, were isolated from persistently infected tissue culture cells. Additional mutants were isolated from wild-type Sendai virus with phenotypes similar to the pantropic mutant, F1-R. The genome of the mutants was sequenced and mutations were revealed in several proteins encoded by the genes. Thr...
متن کاملFilovirus Tropism: Cellular Molecules for Viral Entry
In human and non-human primates, filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg viruses) cause severe hemorrhagic fever. Recently, other animals such as pigs and some species of fruit bats have also been shown to be susceptible to these viruses. While having a preference for some cell types such as hepatocytes, endothelial cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages, filoviruses are known to be pantropi...
