If you are interested in the role of the virus producing cell type on viral functions, check out our latest publication. Using SIV as a model for HIV, we found producer cell dependent differences, e.g. in infectivity and neutralization sensitivity. journals.plos.org/plospathog…

Macrophage- and CD4+ T cell-derived SIV differ in glycosylation, infectivity and neutralization...

Author summary The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the causative agent of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a lethal condition that necessitates life-long antiretroviral therapy...

It turns out that the non-neutralizing antibody response to Epstein-Barr virus is vastly different from what we have seen for HIV and other pathogens: journals.plos.org/plospathog… #ITHF #EBV #SystemsSerology @ragoninstitute @ITHF

Evolution of functional antibodies following acute Epstein-Barr virus infection

Author summary While previously thought to be largely innocuous, emerging data clearly highlight the pathological role of lifelong EBV infection in driving autoimmunity and malignancies in a small,...
