PLOS Pathogens, 8(8), Article e1002901. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1002901

Little is known about the role of viral genes in modulating host cytokine responses. Here we report a new functional role of the viral encoded IE1 protein of the murine cytomegalovirus in sculpting the inflammatory response in an acute infection. In...

R., Busche, A., Dickinson, P., Forster, T., Strobl, B., Mueller, M., Jonjic, S., Angulo, A., & Ghazal, P. (2011). Reversible Inhibition of Murine Cytomegalovirus Replication by Gamma Interferon (IFN-γ) in Primary Macrophages Involves a Primed Type I IFN-Signaling Subnetwork for Full Establishment of an Immediate-Early Antiviral State. Journal of Virology, 85(19), 10286-10299. https://doi.org/10.1128/jvi.00373-11

Activated macrophages play a central role in controlling inflammatory responses to infection and are tightly regulated to rapidly mount responses to infectious challenge. Type I interferon (alpha/beta interferon [IFN-/]) and type II interferon (IFN-)...

PLOS Biology, 9(3), Article e1000598. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1000598

Little is known about the protective role of inflammatory processes in modulating lipid metabolism in infection. Here we report an intimate link between the innate immune response to infection and regulation of the sterol metabolic network characteri...
