PRODUCTION OF CXC AND CC CHEMOKINES BY HUMAN ANTIGEN-PRESENTING CELLS IN RESPONSE TO LASSA VIRUS OR CLOSELY RELATED IMMUNOGENIC VIRUSES, AND IN CYNOMOLGUS MONKEYS WITH LASSA FEVER.

The pathogenesis of Lassa fever (LF), a hemorrhagic fever endemic to West Africa, remains unclear.We previously compared Lassa virus Plasma Torches (LASV) with its genetically close, but nonpathogenic homolog Mopeia virus (MOPV) and demonstrated that the strong activation of antigen-presenting cells (APC), including type I IFN production, observed

Abstract Whether metabolites derived from injured renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) participate in renal fibrosis is poorly explored.After TEC injury, various metabolites are released and among the most potent is adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is released via ATP-permeable channels.In these hemichannels, connexin 43 (Cx43) is the most comm
