Immune functions during chronic viral infections
Chronic viral infections display a major health burden worldwide. Immune control of chronic viral infections requires a balanced interplay between immune activation promoting virus clearance and deactivation of antiviral immunity to prevent tissue damage. Our research is focused on identifying mechanisms regulating the balanced immune control of viral infections. Innate type I interferon produc...
متن کاملImmune exhaustion during chronic infections in cattle
Recently, dysfunction of antigen-specific T cells is well documented as T-cell exhaustion and has been defined by the loss of effector functions during chronic infections and cancer in human. The exhausted T cells are characterized phenotypically by the surface expression of immunoinhibitory receptors, such as programmed death 1 (PD-1), lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3), T-cell immunoglobuli...

Background: The most common sexually transmitted diseases and the economic and social health problem throughout the world. However, vaccine coverage and antibiotic therapy and the development of programs to prevent and control major causes of acute and chronic diseases, pregnancy complications and infertility remains. Acute and chronic systemic viral infections can lead to infertility and perma...
متن کاملAntioxidants and viral infections: host immune response and viral pathogenicity.
Malnutrition has long been associated with increased susceptibility to infectious disease. The increase in severity from and susceptibility to infectious disease in malnourished hosts is thought to be the result of an impaired immune response. For example, malnutrition could influence the immune response by inducing a less effective ability to manage the challenge of an infectious disease. Work...
متن کاملProcoagulant activity during viral infections.
The abundance of evidence suggest that inflammation of immune and non-immune cells may lead to an imbalance of the pro- and anti-coagulant state during viral infections. During systemic infections, the endothelium plays a critical role in regulating hemostasis, and severe imbalances of endothelial function and activation can contribute to organ failure. Viral infections may elevate plasma level...
