    Abstract Interferons limit viral replication by inducing intracellular restriction factors, such as the GTPase MxB (also designated MX2), which inhibits HIV-1 and, as recently shown, herpesviruses. Inhibition of these viruses occurs at ill-defined steps after viral entry and requires formation of MxB dimers or oligomers, but GTP hydrolysis is needed only for blocking herpesviruses. Together with previous findings on related MxA, the new research on MxB highlights the mechanistic diversity by which MX proteins interfere with viral replication.

    Abstract Type III interferon (IFN-λ) was initially thought to have functions similar to those of the type I interferons (IFN-α and IFN-β). New findings have indicated, however, that IFN-λ has a non-redundant role in the innate antiviral, antifungal and antiprotozoal defences of mucosal barriers. In this Review, we highlight recent work showing that IFN-λ inhibits virus dissemination within the body and limits the transmission of respiratory and gastrointestinal viruses to naive hosts. We also discuss findings indicating that IFN-λ can act on neutrophils to prevent invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. We summarize results showing that IFN-λ signalling differs in several respects from IFN-α and IFN-β signalling, particularly in neutrophils. Finally, we discuss new findings indicating that IFN-λ is a potent enhancer of adaptive immune responses in the respiratory mucosa.

    Abstract A pivotal role of type I interferons in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is widely accepted. Type III interferons (IFN-λ) however, the most recently discovered cytokines grouped within the interferon family, have not been extensively studied in lupus disease models yet. Growing evidence suggests a role for IFN-λ in regulating both innate and adaptive immune responses, and increased serum concentrations have been described in multiple autoimmune diseases including SLE. Using the pristane-induced lupus model, we found that mice with defective IFN-λ receptors (

    Abstract The discovery of the Mx gene-dependent, innate resistance of mice against influenza virus was a matter of pure chance. Although the subsequent analysis of this antiviral resistance was guided by straightforward logic, it nevertheless led us into many blind alleys and was full of surprising turns and twists. Unexpectedly, this research resulted in the identification of one of the first interferon-stimulated genes and provided a new view of interferon action. It also showed that in many species, MX proteins have activities against a broad range of viruses. To this day, Mx research continues to flourish and to provide insights into the never-ending battle between viruses and their hosts.

    Abstract Changes of mRNA 3'UTRs by alternative polyadenylation (APA) have been associated to numerous pathologies, but the mechanisms and consequences often remain enigmatic. By combining transcriptomics, proteomics and recombinant viruses we show that all tested strains of IAV, including A/PR/8/34(H1N1) (PR8) and A/Cal/07/2009 (H1N1) (Cal09), cause APA. We mapped the effect to the highly conserved glycine residue at position 184 (G184) of the viral non-structural protein 1 (NS1). Unbiased mass spectrometry-based analyses indicate that NS1 causes APA by perturbing the function of CPSF4 and that this function is unrelated to virus-induced transcriptional shutoff. Accordingly, IAV strain PR8, expressing an NS1 variant with weak CPSF binding, does not induce host shutoff but only APA. However, recombinant IAV (PR8) expressing NS1(G184R) lacks binding to CPSF4 and thereby also the ability to cause APA. Functionally, the impaired ability to induce APA leads to an increased inflammatory cytokine production and an attenuated phenotype in a mouse infection model. Investigating diverse viral infection models showed that APA induction is a frequent ability of many pathogens. Collectively, we propose that targeting of the CPSF complex, leading to widespread alternative polyadenylation of host transcripts, constitutes a general immunevasion mechanism employed by a variety of pathogenic viruses.

    Abstract Influenza represents a global public health threat. Currently available influenza vaccines are effective against strain-matched influenza A and B viruses but do not protect against novel pandemic viruses. Vaccine candidates that target conserved B or T cell epitopes of influenza viruses could circumvent this shortcoming. The conserved extracellular domain of matrix protein 2 (M2e) of influenza A is an example of such a broadly protective vaccine candidate. Protection by M2e-based vaccine candidates largely depends on M2e-specific IgG antibodies. Here we show that the M2e-specific IgG2a monoclonal antibody 65 (MAb 65) can reduce influenza A/Udorn/72 (H3N2) and A/Hong Kong/68 (H3N2) virus plaque formation. This effect was not observed with other influenza A virus strains tested. We further show that passive transfer of MAb 65 to mice can reduce viral loads in the upper and lower airways, which results in reduced transmission of A/Udorn/72 and A/Hong Kong/68 viruses to cohoused, unimmunized contact mice. Virus restriction by passively transferred Mab 65 was significantly less pronounced in Fcgr1

    Abstract Previous work showed that interferon-λ (IFN-λ) can trigger the synthesis of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) by specialized epithelial cells in the upper airways of mice, thereby improving the performance of intranasally administered influenza vaccines. Here we demonstrate that protein-only influenza vaccines containing either IFN-λ or TSLP boosted antigen-specific IgG1 and IgA responses and enhanced the resistance of mice to influenza virus challenge, irrespective of whether the vaccines were applied
