Autocrine and paracrine interferon signalling as 'ring vaccination' and 'contact tracing' strategies to suppress virus infection in a host

By: G. Lavigne n, H. Russell n, B. Sherry n & R. Ke n

author keywords: interferon; innate immunity; ring vaccination; partial differential equations; cellular automata
MeSH headings : Antiviral Agents; Contact Tracing; Humans; Immunity, Innate; Interferons; Vaccination; Virus Diseases
TL;DR: It is argued that the interferon response can be seen as a parallel to population-level epidemic prevention strategies such as ‘contact tracing’ or ‘ring vaccination’ and may have implications for the outbreak control at the population scale more broadly. (via Semantic Scholar)

Principles of Effective and Robust Innate Immune Response to Viral Infections: A Multiplex Network Analysis

FRONTIERS IN IMMUNOLOGY, 10.

By: Y. Huang n, H. Dai n & R. Ke n

author keywords: immune response; interferon; viral infection; mathematical modeling; multiplex network
MeSH headings : Humans; Immunity, Innate; Interferon Type I / immunology; Models, Immunological; Signal Transduction / immunology; Virus Diseases / immunology; Viruses / immunology
TL;DR: It is shown that in general, the IFN response works effectively to stop viral infection when virus infection spreads spatially (a most likely scenario for initial virus infection of a host at the peripheral tissue). (via Semantic Scholar)

Within-host infectious disease models accommodating cellular coinfection, with an application to influenza

VIRUS EVOLUTION, 5(2).

author keywords: influenza virus; within-host dynamics; macroparasite model; cellular coinfection; viral complementation
TL;DR: The within-host model structure developed here provides an alternative approach for modeling within- Host viral load dynamics and allows for a new class of questions to be addressed that consider the effects of cellular coinfection, collective viral interactions, and viral complementation in within- host viral dynamics and evolution.

Determinants of the efficacy of HIV latency-reversing agents and implications for drug and treatment design

JCI INSIGHT, 3(20).

By: R. Ke n, J. Conway*, D. Margolis* & A. Perelson*

MeSH headings : Anti-HIV Agents / pharmacology; Anti-HIV Agents / therapeutic use; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / drug effects; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / immunology; CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes / virology; Drug Design; Drug Therapy, Combination / methods; HIV Antigens / metabolism; HIV Infections / drug therapy; HIV Infections / immunology; HIV Infections / virology; HIV-1 / drug effects; HIV-1 / physiology; Humans; Models, Biological; Pulse Therapy, Drug; Treatment Outcome; Virus Latency / drug effects
TL;DR: A mathematical model that describes the dynamics of latently infected cells under LRA treatment showed that, in addition to increasing the immune recognition and clearance of infected cells, the duration of HIV antigen expression plays an important role in determining the efficacy of LRAs, especially if effective clearance is achieved.

Network analysis of virus-innate immune interaction within a host

2018 52nd Annual Conference on Information Sciences and Systems (CISS).

By: Y. Huang n, M. Dai*, Z. Zhang* & R. Ke n

TL;DR: It is found that interferon response can effectively stop the spread of the virus or reduce the final size of viral infection when the two networks largely overlap each other. (via Semantic Scholar)

Modeling the Effects of Vorinostat In Vivo Reveals both Transient and Delayed HIV Transcriptional Activation and Minimal Killing of Latently Infected Cells

PLOS PATHOGENS, 11(10).
