Antiviral immunity in amphibiansGuangchun Chen
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Viruses 3:2065-86. 2011....
Susceptibility of Xenopus laevis tadpoles to infection by the ranavirus Frog-Virus 3 correlates with a reduced and delayed innate immune response in comparison with adult frogsFrancisco De Jesús Andino
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Virology 432:435-43. 2012..Furthermore, greater proportions of larval than adult PLs were infected by FV3. Our study suggests that tadpole susceptibility to FV3 infection is partially due to poor virus-elicited innate immune responses...
Immune evasion strategies of ranaviruses and innate immune responses to these emerging pathogensLeon Grayfer
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Viruses 4:1075-92. 2012..This review focuses on the recent advances in the understanding of the RV immune evasion strategies with emphasis on the roles of the innate immune system in ranaviral infections...
Waterborne infectivity of the Ranavirus frog virus 3 in Xenopus laevisJacques Robert
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
Virology 417:410-7. 2011..These data highlight the efficiency of FV3 infectivity by the water route and the ability of FV3 to adapt to its hosts...
Improved knockout methodology reveals that frog virus 3 mutants lacking either the 18K immediate-early gene or the truncated vIF-2alpha gene are defective for replication and growth in vivoGuangchun Chen
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY 14642, USA
J Virol 85:11131-8. 2011..In addition, our study describes a powerful methodology that lays the foundation for the discovery of potentially new ranaviral genes involved in virulence and immune escape...
