Guay, Heath M., Andreyeva, Tatyana A., Garcea, Robert L., Welsh, Raymond M., Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva

Development of long-term humoral immunity is a major goal of vaccination, but the mechanisms involved in the formation of long-term Ab responses are still being determined. In this study, we identify...

Dynamics and magnitude of virus-induced polyclonal B cell activation mediated by BCR-independent presentation of viral antigen (2006)

Jellison, Evan Robert, Guay, Heath M., Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Welsh, Raymond M.

Hypergammaglobulinemia and production of autoantibodies occur during many viral infections, and studies have suggested that viral antigen-presenting B cells may become polyclonally activated by CD4 T...

Gavanescu, Irina Catrinel, Pihan, German A., Halilovic, Ensar, Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Welsh, Raymond M., Doxsey, Stephen J.

Development of autoantibodies to intracellular molecules is a universal feature of autoimmune diseases and parallels onset of chronic inflammatory pathology. Initiating antigens of disease-specific...

The resolution of relapsing fever borreliosis requires IgM and is concurrent with expansion of B1b lymphocytes (2003)

Alugupalli, Kishore R., Gerstein, Rachel M., Chen, Jianzhu, Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Woodland, Robert T., Leong, John M.

The rate of pathogen clearance is a critical determinant of morbidity and mortality. We sought to characterize the immune response responsible for the remarkably rapid clearance of individual...

Innate immunity to viruses: control of vaccinia virus infection by gamma delta T cells (2001)

Selin, Liisa K., Santolucito, Paul A., Pinto, Amelia K., Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Welsh, Raymond M.

The existence of gammadelta T cells has been known for over 15 years, but their significance in innate immunity to virus infections has not been determined. We show here that gammadelta T cells are...

The role of CD40-CD154 interaction in antiviral T cell-independent IgG responses (2000)

Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Brien, James D., Dorgan, Jill E., Welsh, Raymond M., Garcea, Robert L.

Polyomavirus (PyV) infection elicits protective T cell-independent (TI) IgG responses in T cell-deficient mice. The question addressed in this report is whether CD40 signaling plays a role in this TI...

T-Cell-independent immunoglobulin G responses in vivo are elicited by live-virus infection but not by immunization with viral proteins or virus-like particles (1998)

Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Le, Quang P., Garcea, Robert L., Welsh, Raymond M.

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses to viruses are generally assumed to be T-cell dependent (TD). Recently, however, polyomavirus (PyV) infection of T-cell-deficient (T-cell receptor beta chain...

T cell-independent antibody-mediated clearance of polyoma virus in T cell-deficient mice (1996)

Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Welsh, Raymond M.

Polyomavirus (PyV) infection of SCID mice, which lack functional T and B cells, leads to a lethal acute myeloproliferative disease (AMD) and to high levels of virus replication in several organs by...

Acute, lethal, natural killer cell-resistant myeloproliferative disease induced by polyomavirus in severe combined immunodeficient mice (1994)

Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Dundon, Patricia L., Joris, Isabelle, Shultz, Leonard D., Woda, Bruce A., Welsh, R M

Infection of severe combined immunodeficient mice, which lack T and B lymphocytes, with polyomavirus (PyV) induced an acute hematological disorder leading to the death of the mice by 2 weeks...

Herpesvirus saimiri strains from three DNA subgroups have different oncogenic potentials in New Zealand white rabbits (1989)

Medveczky, Maria M., Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Hesselton, RuthAnn M., DeGrand, David, Geck, Peter, Medveczky, Peter G.

Herpesvirus saimiri is a primate tumor virus that induces acute T-cell lymphomas in New World monkeys. Strains of this virus have been previously classified into three groups on the basis of extreme...

In vitro immortalization of marmoset cells with three subgroups of herpesvirus saimiri (1987)

Szomolanyi-Tsuda, Eva, Medveczky, Peter G., Mulder, Carel

Sequences within the rightmost 7 kilobases of the unique L DNA of herpesvirus saimiri are required for oncogenicity of the virus. The same DNA region has been found to be highly variable among...

T-Cell-Independent Immunoglobulin G Responses In Vivo Are Elicited by Live-Virus Infection but Not by Immunization with Viral Proteins or Virus-Like Particles
