Many viruses have learned to evade or subvert the host antiviral immune responses by
encoding and expressing immunomodulatory proteins that protect the virus from attack by …

Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines whose main function is to direct cell migration. The
chemokine network is highly complex and its deregulation is linked to several diseases …

The effect of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gene expression on cytokine (beta interferon)

Chemoattractant cytokines, or chemokines, are the largest sub-family of cytokines. About 50
distinct chemokines have been identified in humans. Their principal role is to stimulate the …

Chemokines are chemoattractant cytokines that mediate the migration of immune cells to
sites of infection which play an important role in innate and adaptive immunity. As an …

The primary function of chemokines is to direct the migration of leukocytes to the site of injury
during inflammation. The effects of chemokines are modulated by several means, including …

Microorganisms have developed several mechanisms to modulate the host immune system
to increase their survival and propagation in the host. Their presence in the host is not only …

Pseudorabies virus (PRV), also known as suid herpesvirus, is the aetiological agent of
Aujeszky's disease in swine. In other animals, except higher-order primates, PRV infection is …
