JC virus can infect human immune and nervous system progenitor cells: implications for pathogenesis.
Recent advances in stem cell biology have called attention to the role these cells may play in the pathogenesis of systemic and nervous system diseases. Although not capable of indefinite self renewal and pluripotentiality as stem cells are, progenitor cells can give rise to cells of different lineages. It is infection of these differentiated cells that has traditionally been associated with th...
متن کاملRespiratory Syncytial Virus Can Infect Basal Cells and Alter Human Airway Epithelial Differentiation
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, causing severe respiratory illness in infants and immune compromised patients. The ciliated cells of the human airway epithelium have been considered to be the exclusive target of RSV, although recent data have suggested that basal cells, the progenitors for the conducting airway epithelium, may also become...
متن کاملCoxsackievirus B4 Can Infect Human Peripheral Blood-Derived Macrophages.
Beyond acute infections, group B coxsackieviruses (CVB) are also reported to play a role in the development of chronic diseases, like type 1 diabetes. The viral pathogenesis mainly relies on the interplay between the viruses and innate immune response in genetically-susceptible individuals. We investigated the interaction between CVB4 and macrophages considered as major players in immune respon...
متن کاملFeline immunodeficiency virus can infect a human cell line (MOLT-4) but establishes a state of latency in the cells.
Infectivity of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in feline and human lymphoblastoid cell lines was examined using homogeneous populations of FIV derived from infectious molecular clones of strains TMZ and Petaluma, and two recombinant chimeric clones carrying gag, pol, vif and ORF-A from the heterologous virus. FIV from the clones with the env region of the Petaluma strain was shown to infect...
متن کاملThe inability of human immunodeficiency virus to infect chimpanzee monocytes can be overcome by serial viral passage in vivo.
Studies of lentivirus infection in ruminants, nonhuman primates, and humans suggest that virus infection of macrophages plays a central role in the disease process. To investigate whether human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can infect chimpanzee macrophages, we recovered monocytes from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of HIV-1-negative animals and inoculated these and control human mo...
