Identification and Analysis of a Novel Heparin-Binding Glycoprotein Encoded by Human Herpesvirus 7

Skrincosky, David, Hocknell, Peter, Whetter, Linda, Secchiero, Paola, Chandran, Bala, Dewhurst, Stephen

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 are closely related betaherpesviruses that encode a number of genes with no known counterparts in other herpesviruses. The product of one such gene is the HHV-6...

Cyclooxygenase-2 expression is induced during human megakaryopoiesis and characterizes newly formed platelets

Rocca, Bianca, Secchiero, Paola, Ciabattoni, Giovanni, Ranelletti, Franco O., Catani, Lucia, Guidotti, Lia, ...

TRAIL Activates a Caspase 9/7-Dependent Pathway in Caspase 8/10-Defective SK-N-SH Neuroblastoma Cells with Two Functional End Points: Induction of Apoptosis and PGE2 Release1

Zauli, Giorgio, Milani, Daniela, Rimondi, Erika, Baldini, Giovanna, Nicolin, Vanessa, Grill, Vittorio, ...

Most neuroblastoma cell lines do not express apical caspases 8 and 10, which play a key role in mediating tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) cytotoxicity in a variety of...
