2014 Colorado alphaherpesvirus latency symposium

ACES Symposium 2014 Presenter


One of the topics in general chemistry that has often given students problems is stoichiometry. Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that attempts to quantify the measured relationships or ratios between two or more items. The importance of stoichiometry is not lost among those who practice it, mostly chemists or chemical engineers. For the novice learner it is difficult to see what is bey...

Interferon Alpha Induces Establishment of Alphaherpesvirus Latency in Sensory Neurons In Vitro

BACKGROUND Several alphaherpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus (PRV), establish lifelong latency in neurons of the trigeminal ganglion (TG). Although it is thought that efficient establishment of alphaherpesvirus latency is based on a subtle interplay between virus, neurons and the immune system, it is not clear which immune components are of major import...

International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy (ISET) 2014

Purpose: Radial access is being increasingly used for both diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures. Prospective data comparing ultrasoundvs palpationguided radial catheterization are largely lacking. Materials and Methods: In this prospective single-center study, 183 consecutively enrolled patients scheduled for transradial cardiac catheterization by an experienced interventionalist we...

In vitro model for lytic replication, latency, and transformation of an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus.

Marek's disease virus (MDV) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes deadly T-cell lymphomas in chickens and serves as a natural small animal model for virus-induced tumor formation. In vivo, MDV lytically replicates in B cells that transfer the virus to T cells in which the virus establishes latency. MDV also malignantly transforms CD4+ T cells with a T(reg) signature, ultimately resulting in deadly...
