Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement of blood-brain barrier permeability and reduction of tight junction protein expression are modulated by chemokines/cytokines induced by rabies virus infection.

TL;DR: It was found that RABV infection enhances BBB permeability by downregulation of tight junction (TJ) protein expression in the brain microvasculature and blocking some of these cytokines, such as IFN-γ, ameliorated both the disruption of BBb permeability and the down regulation of TJ protein expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel rabies vaccine based on a recombinant parainfluenza virus 5 expressing rabies virus glycoprotein

TL;DR: Results indicate that rPIV5-RV-G is an excellent candidate for a new generation of recombinant rabies vaccine for humans and animals and PIV5 is a potential vector for oral vaccines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical Role of K1685 and K1829 in the Large Protein of Rabies Virus in Viral Pathogenicity and Immune Evasion.

TL;DR: The results suggest that K1685 and K1829 in the L protein play important roles in pathogenicity and immune evasion during RABV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lab-Attenuated Rabies Virus Causes Abortive Infection and Induces Cytokine Expression in Astrocytes by Activating Mitochondrial Antiviral-Signaling Protein Signaling Pathway

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lab-attenuated RABV causes abortive infection in astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the CNS, and it is suggested that astroCytes play a critical role in limiting the replication of lab-hatted RABVs in the central nervous system.
