Journal ArticleDOI

Local immune response to respiratory syncytial virus infection is diminished in senescence-accelerated mice.

TL;DR: It is suggested that age-related immune dysfunction, especially defects in cellular immune responses, accounts for the increased morbidity and mortality in RSV infection of the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iba1-expressing microglia respond to herpes simplex virus infection in the mouse trigeminal ganglion.

TL;DR: Collectively, Iba1-bearing microglia exist in the mouse trigeminal ganglion and respond to herpes simplex virus infection, most likely conferring neuroprotective functions upon the trigeminals ganglions.
Journal ArticleDOI

HF10, an attenuated herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 clone, lacks neuroinvasiveness and protects mice against lethal challenge with HSV types 1 and 2

TL;DR: It is proposed that HF10 explicitly meets the prerequisites for a candidate live attenuated HSV vaccine, as it exhibits impaired neuroinvasiveness in peripheral olfactory, vomeronasal and trigeminal conduits following intranasal as well as corneal inoculation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The US3 protein kinase of herpes simplex virus attenuates the activation of the c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase signal transduction pathway in infected piriform cortex neurons of C57BL/6 mice.

TL;DR: Collectively, the US3 protein kinase of HSV plays a role in attenuating the virus-induced activation of the JNK signal transduction pathway in the central nervous system and may contribute, at least in part, to controlling neuronal apoptosis.
