IgG Fc Receptors Provide an Alternative Infection Route for Murine Gamma-Herpesvirus-68
BACKGROUND Herpesviruses can be neutralized in vitro but remain infectious in immune hosts. One difference between these settings is the availability of immunoglobulin Fc receptors. The question therefore arises whether a herpesvirus exposed to apparently neutralizing antibody can still infect Fc receptor(+) cells. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Immune sera blocked murine gamma-herpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) in...
متن کاملMurine gamma-herpesvirus 68 limits naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cell activity following infection.
During microbial infections, naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells can suppress protective host responses or they can limit pathogen-induced inflammatory responses. The particular role played by these cells seems to depend upon the infectious agent being investigated. Gamma-herpesviruses are efficacious pathogens which are well-known for their ability to induce lymphoproliferative di...
متن کاملFunction and regulation of a murine macrophage-specific IgG Fc receptor, Fc gamma R-alpha
Ligand binding specificities of two cloned murine Fc gamma Rs (Fc gamma R-alpha, Fc gamma R-beta [9]) were determined by gene transfer into Fc gamma R negative cell lines. Both receptors were expressed as full-length molecules capable of IgG immune complex binding that was inhibitable by the mAb 2.4G2. The ligand binding profiles of these receptors were indistinguishable whereby both bound immu...
متن کاملMurine Gammaherpesvirus 68 Infection of Mice: a Small Animal Model for Characterizing Basic Aspects of Gamma-herpesvirus Pathogenesis
The human gammaherpesviruses, EBV and KSHV, have a narrow host range, limiting development of small animal models for characterizing aspects of EBV and KSHV pathogenesis. As such, over the past 15 years there has been increasing interest in studying murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (HV68, MHV68) infection of inbred strains of laboratory mice. In this chapter we review advances in this model system a...
متن کاملIdentification of viral genes essential for replication of murine gamma-herpesvirus 68 using signature-tagged mutagenesis.
Gamma-herpesviruses, Epstein-Barr virus, and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus are important human pathogens, because they are involved in tumor development. Murine gamma-herpesvirus-68 (MHV-68 or gammaHV-68) has emerged as a small animal model system for the study of gamma-herpesvirus pathogenesis and host-virus interactions. To identify the genes required for viral replication in vitro ...
