Potent and broadly reactive HIV-2 neutralizing antibodies elicited by a vaccinia virus vector prime-C2V3C3 polypeptide boost immunization strategy

  • Autores: Barroso H, Borrego P, Marcelino JM, Novo C, Quintas A, Rocha C, Taveira N
  • Ano de Publicação: 2010
  • Journal: Journal of Virology

Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) infection affects about 1 to 2 million individuals, the majority living in West Africa, Europe, and India. As for HIV-1, new strategies for the prevention of HIV-2 infection are needed. Our aim was to produce new vaccine immunogens that elicit the production of broadly reactive HIV-2 neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). […]

Discovery and Characterization of Auxiliary Proteins Encoded by Type 3 Simian T-Cell Lymphotropic Viruses

  • Autores: Carpentier A, Dodon MD, Edwards D, Galioot A, Gazzolo L, Journo C, Ko NL, Sinet F, Turpin J, Vandamme A-M

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and HTLV-2 encode auxiliary proteins that play important roles in viral replication, viral latency, and immune escape. The presence of auxiliary protein-encoding open reading frames (ORFs) in HTLV-3, the latest HTLV to be discovered, is unknown. Simian T-cell lymphotropic virus type 3 (STLV-3) is almost identical to HTLV-3. Given the lack of HTLV-3-infected cell lines, we took advantage of STLV-3-infected cells and of an STLV-3 molecular clone to search for the presence of auxiliary transcripts.

Rotavirus infection increases intestinal motility but not permeability at the onset of diarrhea

  • Autores: Hagbom M, Istrate C, Magnusson KE, Svensson L, Vikstrom E
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Journal of Virology

The disease mechanisms associated with onset and secondary effects of rotavirus (RV) diarrhea remain to be determined and may not be identical. In this study, we investigated whether onset of RV diarrhea is associated with increased intestinal permeability and/or motility. To study the transit time, fluorescent fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran was given to RV-infected adult and infant mice. Intestinal motility was also studied with an opioid receptor agonist (loperamide) and a muscarinic receptor antagonist (atropine)

Envelope Proteins Derived from Naturally Integrated Hepatitis B Virus DNA Support Assembly and Release of Infectious Hepatitis Delta Virus Particles

  • Autores: Cunha C, Freitas N, Gudima SO, Menne S
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Journal of Virology
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24623409

A natural subviral agent of human hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis delta virus (HDV), requires only the envelope proteins from HBV in order to maintain persistent infection. HBV surface antigens (HBsAgs) can be produced either by HBV replication or from integrated HBV DNA regardless of replication. The functional properties of the integrant-generated HBsAgs were examined using two human hepatocellular carcinoma-derived cell lines, Hep3B and PLC/PRF/5, that contain HBV integrants but do not produce HBV virions and have no signs of HBV replication.

Support of the Infectivity of Hepatitis Delta Virus Particles by the Envelope Proteins of Different Genotypes of Hepatitis B Virus

  • Autores: Abe K, Cunha C, Freitas N, Gudima SO, Menne S
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Journal of Virology
  • Link: http://jvi.asm.org/content/88/11/6255.abstract

This study examined how the envelope proteins of 25 variants of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes A to I support hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infectivity. The assembled virions bore the same HDV ribonucleoprotein and differed only by the HBV variant-specific envelope proteins coating the particles. The total HDV yields varied within a 122-fold range. A residue Y (position 374) in the HDV binding site was identified as critical for HDV assembly.
