Identification of host factors for the replication of the Kaposi’s sarcoma- associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and the related rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV)
(2024-07-23)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a human tumor virus. It is associated with Kaposi’s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman’s disease. KSHV is known to interact with several different ... -
Phenotypic and Functional Characterization of Natural Killer Cell Receptors in Human and Rhesus macaque
(2024-02-05)Activating killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) cannot transmit signals directly but through signaling motifs. Since human activating KIRs lack signaling molecules, their transmembrane lysine residue pairs with ... -
Genomics of Hybridization and Adaptation in Primates
(2023-12-07)In chapter 1, we used high coverage (30X) whole genome sequences from 225 wild baboons (genus Papio) representing 19 geographic localities to investigate population genomics and inter-species gene flow. Our analyses provide ... -
Cell and Receptor Tropism of γ2-Herpesviruses
(2021-02-25)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the only rhadino- or γ2-herpesvirus of humans, is associated with Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and two B cell proliferative malignancies, primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and a ... -
Novel production system for influenza A virus-derived defective interfering particles and analysis of antiviral activity
(2020-09-24)Influenza A virus (IAV) increases morbidity and mortality rates and novel antivirals are needed to combat the virus. Errors of the viral polymerase lead to the generation of defective RNAs. These DI-RNAs may interfere with ... -
A Mitotic Actin Regulating Pathway Induces Chromosomal Instability In Human Cancer Cells
(2020-06-11)Chromosome instability (CIN) is a hallmark of human cancer and causes structural (S-CIN) as well as whole (W-CIN) chromosome aberrations. Cancers exhibiting the CIN phenotype are characterized by a large genetic heterogeneity ... -
Decoding the Epigenome of Neuronal Networks in Health and Disease
(2019-05-27)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia that has vast emotional and economic implications in our society. There is no cure for this neurodegenerative disorder as the pathological changes occur years ... -
Interactions of the Ebola virus glycoprotein with host cell factors during viral entry and release
(2019-03-28)Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe disease that affects humans and non-human primates. The recent EVD epidemic in West Africa shows that EVD poses a severe threat to human health. EVD is caused by Ebola virus (EBOV) and ... -
Identification of therapeutic targets in the Burkitt’s lymphoma specific B cell antigen receptor signaling network
(2018-11-12)Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive B cell neoplasm that is characterized by a chromosomal translocation, which brings the proto-oncogene c-MYC under the control of Immunoglobulin (Ig) enhancer elements leading to ... -
Analysis of the transcriptome of human NK lymphocytes
(2016-10-31)Natural Killer cells are large granular lymphocytes that contribute to both innate and adaptive immunity, as they can not only lyse infected cells or tumors, but also stimulate an adaptive immune response via production ... -
Vav guanine nucleotide exchange factors control B cell antigen receptor-induced Ca2+-signaling
(2016-03-15)Differentiation of B cells into antibody secreting plasma cells is an indispensable step to cope with pathogens. Antigen binding to the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) initiates signaling cascades leading in combination with ... -
Structural and functional elucidation of the primary transducer module of the B cell antigen receptor
(2015-07-27)Interaction of an antigen with the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) initiates signaling cascades leading to B cell activation, proliferation and differentiation. Signal transduction downstream of the BCR depends on the adaptor ... -
Combining gemcitabine with checkpoint kinase inhibitors to sensitize pancreatic tumors
(2015-04-15)Pancreatic tumor is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the world. Currently, the nucleoside analogue gemcitabine is the leading therapeutic drug for the treatment of pancreatic tumors. However, due to ... -
Autoimmune T cell - B cell interaction in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(2015-03-17)Although Multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) are known as T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases, there is increasing evidence that B cells also play a critical role ... -
Bildung und Homöostase von c-di-AMP in Bacillus subtilis
(2014-07-14)Signal transduction describes the ability of cells to sense environmental stimuli and transfer this information in order to react appropriately to these stimuli. In this process, signaling nucleotides are often important. ... -
Modulation of allergic airway inflammation by glucocorticoids
(2014-03-06)A crucial step in the development of improved drugs for asthma therapy is a thorough understanding of the mechanisms, which are important for effective treatment, and the identification of target cells in asthma pathogenesis. ... -
Endocrine control of T cell function and its implications for the pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory diseases
(2013-06-17)Insulin and GCs are two important endocrine regulators of mammalian body homeostasis and both impact on immune cell functions. Whereas GCs are in widespread use for the treatment of autoimmune diseases since the late 1950s, ... -
Myeloid cell-specific ablation of the mineralocorticoid receptor attenuates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(2013-02-12)The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) plays an essential role in regulating fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Amongst hematopoietic cells, also macrophages express the MR but, unlike kidney or colon, they do not co-express ... -
Characterisation of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
(2012-10-22)Rhesus macaques are important animal models of human diseases in which NK cells play significant roles. Whereas data on KIR genetic variability were recently published, data on KIR protein expression was not available until ... -
Molecular mechanism of B cell antigen receptor-induced SHIP activation
(2012-03-05)Regulation of B cell activation is highly important to keep the balance between immunity and self-tolerance. The SH2 domain-containing 5 inositol phosphatase (SHIP) is an inhibitor of B ...
