Innate Immune Evasion Mediated by Flaviviridae Non-Structural Proteins
Flaviviridae-caused diseases are a critical, emerging public health problem worldwide. Flaviviridae infections usually cause severe, acute or chronic diseases, such as liver damage and liver cancer resulting from a hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and high fever and shock caused by yellow fever. Many researchers worldwide are investigating the mechanisms by which Flaviviridae cause severe dise...
متن کاملDengue-2 Structural Proteins Associate with Human Proteins to Produce a Coagulation and Innate Immune Response Biased Interactome
BACKGROUND Dengue virus infection is a public health threat to hundreds of millions of individuals in the tropical regions of the globe. Although Dengue infection usually manifests itself in its mildest, though often debilitating clinical form, dengue fever, life-threatening complications commonly arise in the form of hemorrhagic shock and encephalitis. The etiological basis for the virus-induc...
متن کاملStructural Studies on Cytoskeletal Proteins.
A number of componenets of cytoskeleton are very large proteins which are in their complete native form non amenable to the structure determination via X-ray diffraction techniques due to their non-globular shape and intrinsic flexibility which hinder the formation of suitable crystals. Dissecting such proteins into their representative building blocks-domains and subsequent structural studies ...
متن کاملDetection of Innate Immune Response Modulating Impurities in Therapeutic Proteins
Therapeutic proteins can contain multiple impurities, some of which are variants of the product, while others are derived from the cell substrate and the manufacturing process. Such impurities, even when present at trace levels, have the potential to activate innate immune cells in peripheral blood or embedded in tissues causing expression of cytokines and chemokines, increasing antigen uptake,...
متن کاملRegulation of innate immune responses by autophagy-related proteins
Pattern recognition receptors detect microbial components and induce innate immune responses, the first line of host defense against infectious agents. However, aberrant activation of immune responses often causes massive inflammation, leading to the development of autoimmune diseases. Therefore, both activation and inactivation of innate immune responses must be strictly controlled. Recent stu...
