Influence Of Env And Long Terminal Repeat Sequences On The Tissue Tropism Of Avian Leukosis Viruses, David Brown, Harriet Robinson
Influence Of Env And Long Terminal Repeat Sequences On The Tissue Tropism Of Avian Leukosis Viruses, David Brown, Harriet Robinson
David C. Brown
Adsorption and penetration of retroviruses into eucaryotic cells is mediated by retroviral envelope glycoproteins interacting with host receptors. Recombinant avian leukosis viruses (ALVs) differing only in envelope determinants that interact with host receptors for subgroup A or E ALVs have been found to have unexpectedly distinctive patterns of tissue-specific replication. Recombinants of both subgroups were highly expressed in bursal lymphocytes as well as in cultured chicken embryo fibroblasts. In contrast, the subgroup A but not subgroup E host range allowed high levels of expression in skeletal muscle, while subgroup E but not subgroup A envelope glycoproteins permitted efficient replication in …
Infection Of Peripancreatic Lymph Nodes But Not Islets Precedes Kilham Rat Virus-Induced Diabetes In Bb/Wor Rats, David Brown, Raymond Welsh, Arthur Like
Infection Of Peripancreatic Lymph Nodes But Not Islets Precedes Kilham Rat Virus-Induced Diabetes In Bb/Wor Rats, David Brown, Raymond Welsh, Arthur Like

A parvovirus serologically identified as Kilham rat virus (KRV) reproducibly induces acute type I diabetes in diabetes-resistant BB/Wor rats. The tissue tropism of KRV was investigated by in situ hybridization with a digoxigenin-labelled plasmid DNA probe containing approximately 1.6 kb of the genome of the UMass isolate of KRV. Partial sequencing of the KRV probe revealed high levels of homology to the sequence of minute virus of mice (89%) and to the sequence of H1 (99%), a parvovirus capable of infecting rats and humans. Of the 444 bases sequenced, 440 were shared by H1. KRV mRNA and DNA were readily …
Cd4+ Regulatory T Cells Require Ctla-4 For The Maintenance Of Systemic Tolerance, Randall Friedline, David Brown, Hai Nguyen, Hardy Kornfeld, Jinhee Lee, Yi Zhang, Mark Appleby, Sandy Der, Joonsoo Kang, Cynthia Chambers
Cd4+ Regulatory T Cells Require Ctla-4 For The Maintenance Of Systemic Tolerance, Randall Friedline, David Brown, Hai Nguyen, Hardy Kornfeld, Jinhee Lee, Yi Zhang, Mark Appleby, Sandy Der, Joonsoo Kang, Cynthia Chambers

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) plays a critical role in negatively regulating T cell responses and has also been implicated in the development and function of natural FOXP3(+) regulatory T cells. CTLA-4-deficient mice develop fatal, early onset lymphoproliferative disease. However, chimeric mice containing both CTLA-4-deficient and -sufficient bone marrow (BM)-derived cells do not develop disease, indicating that CTLA-4 can act in trans to maintain T cell self-tolerance. Using genetically mixed blastocyst and BM chimaeras as well as in vivo T cell transfer systems, we demonstrate that in vivo regulation of Ctla4(-/-) T cells in trans by CTLA-4-sufficient T cells is …
