Acute and chronic infections with nonprimate hepacivirus in young horses
The recently discovered nonprimate hepacivirus (NPHV) naturally infects horses and is the closest known homolog of hepatitis C virus to date. Within a follow-up study acute field infections were monitored in four young Thoroughbred horses until the ages of 12-13 months. Serum samples were analyzed for the presence of NPHV RNA and anti-NPHV NS3 antibodies and liver specific parameters were evalu...
متن کاملInfection, reinfection, and vaccination under suboptimal immune protection: epidemiological perspectives.
The SIR (susceptible-infectious-resistant) and SIS (susceptible-infectious-susceptible) frameworks for infectious disease have been extensively studied and successfully applied. They implicitly assume the upper and lower limits of the range of possibilities for host immune response. However, the majority of infections do not fall into either of these extreme categories. We combine two general a...
متن کاملCharacterization of nonprimate hepacivirus and construction of a functional molecular clone.
Nonprimate hepacivirus (NPHV) is the closest known relative of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and its study could enrich our understanding of HCV evolution, immunity, and pathogenesis. High seropositivity is found in horses worldwide with ∼ 3% viremic. NPHV natural history and molecular virology remain largely unexplored, however. Here, we show that NPHV, like HCV, can cause persistent infection for o...
متن کاملA significant proportion of the protection mediated by the immune system against reinfection with influenza virus is due to the presence of neutralizing antibody directed against the hemagglutinin
A significant proportion of the protection mediated by the immune system against reinfection with influenza virus is due to the presence of neutralizing antibody directed against the hemagglutinin (HA) 1 of influenza virus (1-5). However, little is understood about the mechanism by which interaction of neutralizing antibody with virus results in loss of infectivity. The consensus of opinion has...
متن کاملImmunization of C57BL/6 Mice with GRA2 Combined with MPL Conferred Partial Immune Protection against Toxoplasma gondii
BBackground: We have previously reported that immunization with GRA 2 antigen of Toxoplasma gondii induces protective immunity in CBA /J (H2k) and BALB/c mice (H2d). We aimed to examine whether immunization of a distinct strain of rodent with recombinant dense granule antigens (GRA2) combined with monophosphorryl lipid A (MPL) adjuvant elicits protective immune response against T. gondii. Metho...
