Immune control and prevention of chronic Friend retrovirus infection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
T cells are critical to control acute infection of a host with retroviruses but they are usually unable to prevent the development of chronic infections. This review summarizes studies from the Friend virus mouse model that reveal some of the mechanisms by which T cells control chronic retroviral infection, and also reveal why these responses ultimately fail to fully eradicate infection. Also summarized are findings from vaccine studies demonstrating the immunological requirements for the prevention of chronic retroviral infection. The implications of these findings for chronic infections in humans are discussed.

Effects of acute and chronic murine norovirus infections on immune responses and recovery from Friend retrovirus infection.
Murine norovirus (MNV) is a highly infectious but generally nonpathogenic agent that is commonly found in research mouse colonies in both North America and Europe. In the present study, the effects of acute and chronic infections with MNV on immune responses and recovery from concurrent Friend virus (FV) infections were investigated. No significant differences in T-cell or NK-cell responses, FV...
متن کاملEffects of type I interferons on Friend retrovirus infection.
The type I interferon (IFN) response plays an important role in the control of many viral infections. However, since there is no rodent animal model for human immunodeficiency virus, the antiviral effect of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta in retroviral infections is not well characterized. In the current study we have used the Friend virus (FV) model to determine the activity of type I interferons again...
متن کاملPeptide-induced immune protection of CD8+ T cell-deficient mice against Friend retrovirus-induced disease.
CD8+ CTLs and virus-neutralizing antibodies have been associated with spontaneous and vaccine-induced immune control of retroviral infections. We previously showed that a single immunization with an env gene-encoded CD4+ T cell epitope protected mice against fatal Friend retrovirus infection. Here, we analyzed immune cell components required for the peptide-induced anti-retroviral protection. M...
متن کاملTetherin promotes the innate and adaptive cell-mediated immune response against retrovirus infection in vivo.
Tetherin/BST-2 is a host restriction factor that could directly inhibit retroviral particle release by tethering nascent virions to the plasma membrane. However, the immunological impact of Tetherin during retrovirus infection remains unknown. We now show that Tetherin influences antiretroviral cell-mediated immune responses. In contrast to the direct antiviral effects of Tetherin, which are de...
متن کاملPD-L1 Expression on Retrovirus-Infected Cells Mediates Immune Escape from CD8+ T Cell Killing
Cytotoxic CD8+ T Lymphocytes (CTL) efficiently control acute virus infections but can become exhausted when a chronic infection develops. Signaling of the inhibitory receptor PD-1 is an important mechanism for the development of virus-specific CD8+ T cell dysfunction. However, it has recently been shown that during the initial phase of infection virus-specific CD8+ T cells express high levels o...
