Pathway for polyarginine entry into mammalian cells.
Cationic peptides known as protein transduction domains (PTDs) provide a means to deliver molecules into mammalian cells. Here, nonaarginine (R(9)), the most efficacious of known PTDs, is used to elucidate the pathway for PTD internalization. Although R(9) is found in the cytosol as well as the nucleolus when cells are fixed, this peptide is observed only in the endocytic vesicles of live cells...
متن کاملNonprofessional Phagocytosis Can Facilitate Herpesvirus Entry into Ocular Cells
Phagocytosis is a major mechanism by which the mediators of innate immunity thwart microbial infections. Here we demonstrate that human herpesviruses may have evolved a common mechanism to exploit a phagocytosis-like entrapment to gain entry into ocular cells. While herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) causes corneal keratitis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) is associated with retinitis in immunocompromised i...
متن کاملVaccines that facilitate antigen entry into dendritic cells.
Although vaccines have been highly successful in preventing and treating many infectious diseases (including smallpox, polio and diphtheria) diseases prevalent in the developing world such as malaria and HIV, that suppress the host immune system, require new, multiple strategies that will be defined by our growing understanding of specific immune activation. The definition of adjuvants, previou...
متن کاملThe molecular genetic bases of Salmonella entry into mammalian cells.
virus of pigs [9]. HSV infection of man can be mimicked in the mouse, for example [lo]. Infection of the skin results in multiplication of the virus in epithelium and the generation of the cold sore and the virus can be followed into sensory nerves and into the central nervous system. Virus mutants lacking each of the known glycoproteins have been examined in this model. Although many of the mu...
متن کاملPreformed portals facilitate dendritic cell entry into afferent lymphatic vessels
Although both processes occur at similar rates, leukocyte extravasation from the blood circulation is well investigated, whereas intravasation into lymphatic vessels has hardly been studied. In contrast to a common assumption-that intra- and extravasation follow similar molecular principles-we previously showed that lymphatic entry of dendritic cells (DCs) does not require integrin-mediated adh...
