Identification and Characterization of Interferon-Induced Proteins That Inhibit Alphavirus Replication
- Y. Zhang, Crystal W Burke, K. Ryman, W. Klimstra
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Virology
- 8 August 2007
ABSTRACT Alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) produces antiviral effects through upregulation of many interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) whose protein products are effectors of the antiviral state.… Expand
Similarities and Differences in Antagonism of Neuron Alpha/Beta Interferon Responses by Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis and Sindbis Alphaviruses
- J. Yin, Christina L Gardner, Crystal W Burke, K. Ryman, W. Klimstra
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Virology
- 29 July 2009
ABSTRACT Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) is highly virulent in adult laboratory mice, while Sindbis virus (SINV) is avirulent regardless of dose or inoculation route, dependent upon… Expand
Characteristics of alpha/beta interferon induction after infection of murine fibroblasts with wild-type and mutant alphaviruses.
- Crystal W Burke, Christina L Gardner, J. Steffan, K. Ryman, W. Klimstra
- Biology, Medicine
- Virology
- 5 December 2009
We examined the characteristics of interferon alpha/beta (IFN-alpha/beta) induction after alphavirus or control Sendai virus (SeV) infection of murine fibroblasts (MEFs). As expected, SeV infection… Expand
Eastern and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Viruses Differ in Their Ability To Infect Dendritic Cells and Macrophages: Impact of Altered Cell Tropism on Pathogenesis
- Christina L Gardner, Crystal W Burke, M. Tesfay, P. Glass, W. Klimstra, K. Ryman
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Virology
- 3 September 2008
ABSTRACT Eastern and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses (EEEV and VEEV, respectively) cause severe morbidity and mortality in equines and humans. Like other mosquito-borne viruses, VEEV infects… Expand
Interferon-alpha/beta deficiency greatly exacerbates arthritogenic disease in mice infected with wild-type chikungunya virus but not with the cell culture-adapted live-attenuated 181/25 vaccine…
- Christina L Gardner, Crystal W Burke, S. Higgs, W. Klimstra, K. Ryman
- Biology, Medicine
- Virology
- 10 April 2012
In humans, chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection causes fever, rash, and acute and persisting polyarthralgia/arthritis associated with joint swelling. We report a new CHIKV disease model in adult mice… Expand
Heparan Sulfate Binding Can Contribute to the Neurovirulence of Neuroadapted and Nonneuroadapted Sindbis Viruses
- K. Ryman, Christina L Gardner, Crystal W Burke, K. C. Meier, J. M. Thompson, W. Klimstra
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Virology
- 10 January 2007
ABSTRACT Cell culture-adapted laboratory strains of Sindbis virus (SB) exhibit efficient initial attachment to cell surface heparan sulfate (HS) receptors. In contrast, non-cell-adapted strains, such… Expand
Illumination of Parainfluenza Virus Infection and Transmission in Living Animals Reveals a Tissue-Specific Dichotomy
- Crystal W Burke, J. N. Mason, +4 authors C. Russell
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS pathogens
- 1 July 2011
The parainfluenza viruses (PIVs) are highly contagious respiratory paramyxoviruses and a leading cause of lower respiratory tract (LRT) disease. Since no vaccines or antivirals exist,… Expand
Type I interferon induction is correlated with attenuation of a South American eastern equine encephalitis virus strain in mice.
- Christina L Gardner, J. Yin, Crystal W Burke, W. Klimstra, K. Ryman
- Biology, Medicine
- Virology
- 1 August 2009
North American eastern equine encephalitis virus (NA-EEEV) strains cause high mortality in humans, whereas South American strains (SA-EEEV) are typically avirulent. To clarify mechanisms of SA-EEEV… Expand
Mode of Parainfluenza Virus Transmission Determines the Dynamics of Primary Infection and Protection from Reinfection
- Crystal W Burke, O. Bridges, S. Brown, Richard J. Rahija, C. Russell
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS pathogens
- 1 November 2013
Little is known about how the mode of respiratory virus transmission determines the dynamics of primary infection and protection from reinfection. Using non-invasive imaging of murine parainfluenza… Expand

- Biology, Medicine
- Science Translational Medicine
- 15 May 2019
A multivalent VLP vaccine protects against aerosol challenge of three lethal encephalitis viruses in mice and nonhuman primates. A triple threat to equine encephalitis viruses There are no approved… Expand
