Autoimmune hepatitis : serum autoantibodies in clinical practice

Terziroli Beretta-Piccoli, Benedetta ; Mieli Vergani, Giorgina ; Vergani, Diego

In: Clinical reviews in allergy & immunology, 2021, p. 14

Circulating autoantibodies are a key diagnostic tool in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), being positive in 95% of the cases if tested according to dedicated guidelines issued by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group. They also allow the distinction between type 1 AIH, characterized by positive anti-nuclear and/or anti-smooth muscle antibody, and type 2 AIH, characterized by positive...

Herpes simplex virus enhances chemokine function through modulation of receptor trafficking and oligomerization

Martinez-Martin, Nadia ; Viejo-Borbolla, Abel ; Martín, Rocío ; Soledad, Blanco ; Benovic, Jeffrey L. ; Thelen, Marcus ; Alcamí, Antonio

In: Nature communications, 2015, vol. 6, p. 6163

Glycoprotein G (gG) from herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, important human neurotropic pathogens) is the first viral chemokine-binding protein found to potentiate chemokine function. Here we show that gG attaches to cell surface glycosaminoglycans and induces lipid raft clustering, increasing the incorporation of CXCR4 receptors into these microdomains. gG induces conformational...

Enhancement of chemokine function as an immunomodulatory strategy employed by human herpesviruses

Viejo-Borbolla, Abel ; Martinez-Martín, Nadia ; Nel, Hendrik J. ; Rueda, Patricia ; Martín, Rocío ; Blanco, Soledad ; Arenzana-Seisdedos, Fernando ; Thelen, Marcus ; Fallon, Padraic G. ; Alcamí, Antonio

In: Plos pathogens, 2012, vol. 8, no. 2, p. e1002497

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 are highly prevalent human neurotropic pathogens that cause a variety of diseases, including lethal encephalitis. The relationship between HSV and the host immune system is one of the main determinants of the infection outcome. Chemokines play relevant roles in antiviral response and immunopathology, but the modulation of chemokine function by HSV is...
