Journal ArticleDOI

VSV strains with defects in their ability to shutdown innate immunity are potent systemic anti-cancer agents

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the attenuated vesicular stomatitis strains, AV1 and AV2, embody all of the traits of an oncolytic virus, which will replicate preferentially in malignant cells, have the ability to treat disseminated metastases, and ultimately be cleared by the patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Interferon in Influenza Virus Tissue Tropism

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that type I interferon plays an important role in determining the pathogenicity and tissue restriction of influenza A/WSN/33 virus in vivo and in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of IFN in Respiratory Syncytial Virus Pathogenesis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that wild-type memory CD4+ T cells stimulated by this peptide produce primarily IFN-γ, while STAT1−/−CD4+ cells produce primarily IL-13, which suggests that STAT1 activation by both type I (αβ) and type II (γ) IFNs plays an important role in establishing a protective, Th1 Ag-specific immune response to RSV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Type I Interferon Induction by Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Influenza A Virus In Vivo

TL;DR: Investigation of type I IFN production triggered by RSV or influenza A virus infection of BALB/c mice found that while both viruses induced IFN-α/β production by pDCs in vitro, only influenza virus infection could stimulate type IIFN synthesis by p DCs in vivo.
