  • We have previously reported that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in leptin receptor (LEPR), present in up to 50% of people, influenced CDI-induced neutrophil CXCR2 expression and tissue neutrophilia. (frontiersin.org)
  • Double-stranded RNA is also recognised by the cytoplasmic receptors RIG-I and MDA-5. (wikipedia.org)
  • Further analyses of mutants with hydrophobic residues (F or Y) found that interactions with receptors SR-BI as well as CD81 were modulated which in-turn determined the viral uptake route. (gla.ac.uk)
  • We analyzed the effect of changing this residue in the virus and confirmed that this region is important for binding to the CD81 receptor. (gla.ac.uk)
  • Instead, these authors proposed that CD81 may be an attachment receptor with poor capacity to mediate the viral entry, and that reducing environments may not not favor CD81-HCV interaction. (biomedcentral.com)
  • When electron microscopy was used, there was no evidence that virus particles bound directly to bacteria. (lu.se)
  • Now, scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the University of Otago have described exactly how the virus interacts with tumors -- and why it leaves healthy tissues alone. (oist.jp)
  • The receptor, known as ANTXR1, is only expressed on tumors, but it has a cousin that only appears on healthy tissues, called ANTXR2. (oist.jp)
  • This study contributes to elucidation of the relationship between the physical binding of virus and receptor and viral infectivity. (bvsalud.org)
  • The former is shared with the 1957 H2 and 1968 H3 pandemic viruses and with the aerosol-transmissible H5 mutant. (flutrackers.com)
  • Amino acid changes at position 505 or 515 result in a thrombopoietin receptor protein that is constantly turned on (constitutively activated), which, in essential thrombocythemia, leads to the overproduction of abnormal megakaryocytes and an increased number of platelets. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Positive-sense RNA viruses possess a single-stranded RNA genome that can serve as messenger RNA (mRNA) that can be directly translated to produce an amino acid sequence. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The causative agent behind this outbreak was identified as H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV). (nature.com)
  • Procko then made a soluble version of the engineered receptor. (scitechdaily.com)
  • The density of CR1 receptors on cell surfaces varies with the cell type and with the activation of the cell for neutrophils and monocytes. (medscape.com)
  • In this report, DAX-1, a nuclear receptor family member with corepressor properties, was identified as a potent CAR regulator. (aspetjournals.org)
  • The principal receptor for entry of macrophage-tropic (M-tropic) HIV-1 strains is CCR5, whereas that for T-cell-line-tropic (T-tropic) strains is CXCR4. (nih.gov)
  • Using this system, we observed unique receptor tropism in several virus strains that was undetectable using conventional solid-phase binding assays that measure physical binding between the virus and artificially synthesized sialylglycans. (bvsalud.org)
  • Viruses are thought to facilitate bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. (lu.se)
  • Early activation of Toll-like receptor-3 reduces the pathological progression of Alzheimer's disease in APP/PS1 mouse. (nih.gov)
  • TLR3 is a member of the toll-like receptor (TLR) family which plays a fundamental role in pathogen recognition and activation of innate immunity. (wikipedia.org)
  • Here we describe a model system, SELective Expression and Controlled Transduction In Vivo (SELECTIV), that enables efficient and specific expression of transgenes by coupling adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors with Cre-inducible overexpression of the multi-serotype AAV receptor, AAVR. (nature.com)
  • Our approach exploits the absolute dependence of AAV transduction on the expression of its receptor 22 , AAVR (also named KIAA0319L). (nature.com)
  • But there's one problem: the body builds up immunity to the virus within three weeks and squashes the bug before its work is done. (oist.jp)
  • The complement system, interacting with its regulatory molecules and cellular receptors, plays a central role in the induction and regulation of immunity. (medscape.com)
  • Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are members of the Retrovirus family comprising the closely related Visna/Maedi Virus (VMV) and the Caprine Arthritis-Encephalitis Virus (CAEV), which infect sheep and goats. (mdpi.com)
  • A benefit of a decoy receptor is that it closely resembles the natural receptor. (scitechdaily.com)
