Human Endogenous Retrovirus Protein Activates Innate Immunity and Promotes Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis in Mice
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex multifactorial disease of the central nervous system (CNS) for which animal models have mainly addressed downstream immunopathology but not potential inducers of autoimmunity. In the absence of a pathogen known to cause neuroinflammation in MS, Mycobacterial lysate is commonly used in the form of complete Freund's adjuvant to induce autoimmunity to myelin pr...
متن کاملHuman endogenous retrovirus-like sequences.
One of the most salient features of the replication strategy used by retroviruses is the transcription of the retroviral (RNA) genome into DNA followed by integration of this DNA product into the host cell genome. The integrated viral DNA copy, termed "provirus", can then serve as a template for the synthesis of further infectious virus particles. Stably integrated proviruses have been found to...
متن کاملThe cleavage stage embryo.
A precise embryo quality evaluation is of paramount importance to sustain a successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) program. In most IVF clinics around the world, this quality assessment relies mainly on the morphological evaluation of cleavage stage embryos. Embryologists should be able to correlate the features observed at the optical microscope with the implantation potential of each particu...
متن کاملI-38: Chromosome Instability in The Cleavage Stage Embryo
Recently, we demonstrated chromosome instability (CIN) in human cleavage stage embryogenesis following in vitro fertilization (IVF). CIN not necessarily undermines normal human development (i.e. when remaining normal diploid blastomeres develop the embryo proper), however it can spark a spectrum of conditions, including loss of conception, genetic disease and genetic variation development. To s...
متن کاملEndogenous retrovirus expression in testis and epididymis.
ERVs (endogenous retroviruses), which comprise 8-10% of mouse and human genomes, are present in thousands of copies, ranging in size from complete 9 kb virus to truncated partial sequences. Despite well-documented differential expression of ERVs in normal and diseased tissues, their biological significance remains controversial. Work in this laboratory revealed remarkably high ERV expression in...
