Immunosuppression by hemorrhagic fever-causing viruses
The outcomes of human virus infections are tightly linked to cellular immune responses, which are initiated early in the course of the infection by the activation of the innate immune pathways. The typical recognition of viral infections by the innate immune system occurs via the cytoplasmic recognition of viral nucleic acids by cellular receptors, such as the RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) RIG-I ...
متن کاملThe role of histamine receptors in restraint stress-induced immunosuppression in the rat brain
Restraint-induced stress (RS) increases histamine concentration in the brain. There is no previous report regarding the role of histamine receptors in immunomodulatory effect of RS. In the present study the role of brain histamine receptors on reduction of humoral and cellular immune function induced by RS was evaluated. For this purpose male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were immunized with sheep re...
متن کاملHerpes viruses and tumours in kidney transplant recipients. The role of immunosuppression.
Herpes virus infections are frequent in renal transplant recipients. Some herpes viruses are not only responsible for life-threatening infections and renal graft injury but can also increase the risk of malignancy. Three herpes viruses, namely cytomegalovirus (CMV) or human herpes virus 5, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or herpes virus 4 and human herpes virus 8 (HHV8), may play an oncogenic role. Th...
متن کاملViruses and epidemic “ brain attacks ” : new agents , new challenges
The last decade has seen a surge of interest in viral infections amongst neurologists everywhere. This has been prompted by outbreaks of viral encephalitis in many regions of the world associated with high case fatality and morbidity. The first was an outbreak of Enterovirus 71 (EV71) in 1997, in the state of Sarawak in Malaysia (1). This was followed in the next year by a larger outbreak in Ta...
متن کاملViruses and human brain tumors: cytomegalovirus enters the fray.
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Overall survival rates have improved in recent years as a result of risk-stratified treatment regimens. However, medulloblastoma remains associated with substantial mortality, and survivors often experience debilitating neurological, endocrinological, and social sequelae as a result of treatment. Targeted and less toxic thera...
