Viral invasion and host defense: strategies and counter-strategies.
The outcome of infection of plants by viruses is determined by the net effects of compatibility functions and defense responses. Recent advances reveal that viruses have the capacity to modulate host compatibility and defense functions by a variety of mechanisms.
متن کاملCD40 ligand is a critical effector of Epstein-Barr virus in host cell survival and transformation.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), implicated in numerous human diseases, including lymphoid malignancies, persistently infects peripheral B cells and transforms them into lymphoblastoid cell lines. Here we found that EBV equally infected B cells from patients with X-linked hyper IgM syndrome and those from healthy donors; however, it hardly transformed X-linked hyper IgM syndrome B cells, because of th...
متن کاملStrategies for immortalization of primary hepatocytes.
The liver has the unique capacity to regenerate in response to a damaging event. Liver regeneration is hereby largely driven by hepatocyte proliferation, which in turn relies on cell cycling. The hepatocyte cell cycle is a complex process that is tightly regulated by several well-established mechanisms. In vitro, isolated hepatocytes do not longer retain this proliferative capacity. However, in...
متن کاملImmortalization and transformation of human cells.
The disruption of homeostatic mechanisms that regulate normal cell growth and proliferation is a hallmark of cancer. Experimentally, many of the same genetic changes that lead to abnormal cell proliferation conspire to confer replicative immortality upon cells in culture. Correspondingly, several lines of evidence implicate cellular immortalization as a prerequisite for cell transformation. Rec...
متن کاملHost-Mimicking Strategies in DNA Methylation for Improved Bacterial Transformation
In 1928, Griffith [1] reported that soluble substances from virulent pneumococcal cells trans‐ formed non-virulent pneumococcus to virulent forms. This substance has now been demon‐ strated to be DNA [2-4]. This is considered to be the first report on genetic transformation of bacteria by exogenous DNA. Subsequently, natural competence of Bacillus subtilis was re‐ ported in 1958 by Young and Sp...
