“This suggests the virus may be using LANA as an immune evasion tactic, preventing the immune system from recognizing and eliminating the infection.” The study will also identify how immune ...

In March 2009, a novel swine-origin H1N1 influenza A virus emerged from pigs into the human population and has spread to become the latest influenza pandemic. Host innate immune response to ...

Dendritic cells play pivotal roles in the immune response ... by flaviviruses resulting in evasion of the host response. Here the authors show Zika but not Dengue virus limits the NF-κB response ...

Cleveland Clinic virology researchers have found that a specific protein modification to the immune protein MDA5 is key to how our bodies detect and respond to viruses and viral replication.  The PNAS ...

adding that this finding may indicate evolutionary pressure on the virus to mimic more universal proteins. Because T cell immune training against self-proteins occurs in the thymus, the team compared ...

Interestingly, downregulation of these processes underlies viral and cancer immune evasion, while their aberrant ... and population responses to Herpes virus infection, mitochondrial DNA release ...

An insidious but lesser-known consequence of even a mild measles infection is that it kills the very cells that remember which pathogens the patient has previously fought and how those battles were ...
