Jacobsen C, Pluckebaum N, Ssebyatika G, Beyer S, Mendes-Monteiro L, Wang J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Jun; 15(1):5318. PMID: 38909022
During primary varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection, infected lymphocytes drive primary viremia, causing systemic dissemination throughout the host, including the skin. This results in cytokine expression, including interferons (IFNs), which...

Passos V, Henkel L, Wang J, Zapatero-Belinchon F, Moller R, Sun G, et al.
J Med Virol . 2024 Feb; 96(2):e29455. PMID: 38323709
Severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes neurological disease in the peripheral and central nervous system (PNS and CNS, respectively) of some patients. It is not clear whether SARS-CoV-2 infection...

Jurgens C, Ssebyatika G, Beyer S, Pluckebaum N, Kropp K, Gonzalez-Motos V, et al.
bioRxiv . 2023 Jun; PMID: 37292914
During primary infection, varicella zoster virus (VZV) infects epithelial cells in the respiratory lymphoid organs and mucosa. Subsequent infection of lymphocytes, T cells in particular, causes primary viremia allowing systemic...

Kropp K, Sun G, Viejo-Borbolla A
Curr Opin Virol . 2023 Jun; 60:101333. PMID: 37267706
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) infect and establish latency in neurons of the peripheral nervous system to persist lifelong in the host and to cause recurrent...

Zhu S, Stanslowsky N, Fernandez-Trillo J, Mamo T, Yu P, Kalmbach N, et al.
Stem Cell Res . 2021 Oct; 56:102535. PMID: 34607262
Somatosensory low threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) sense innocuous mechanical forces, largely through specialized axon termini termed sensory nerve endings, where the mechanotransduction process initiates upon activation of mechanotransducers. In humans, a...

Lopez-Munoz A, Rastrojo A, Kropp K, Viejo-Borbolla A, Alcami A
Microb Genom . 2021 Jun; 7(6). PMID: 34170814
Herpes simplex virus serotype 2 (HSV-2) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that causes recurrent genital infections and ulcerations. Many HSV-2 strains with different biological properties have been identified, but only...

Kropp K, Srivaratharajan S, Ritter B, Yu P, Krooss S, Polten F, et al.
Viruses . 2020 Dec; 12(12). PMID: 33322659
Glycoprotein G (gG) from herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively) functions as a viral chemokine binding protein (vCKBP). Soluble recombinant forms of gG of HSV-1...

Kropp K, Lopez-Munoz A, Ritter B, Martin R, Rastrojo A, Srivaratharajan S, et al.
J Virol . 2020 Jul; 94(20). PMID: 32669337
During primary infection, herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) replicates in epithelial cells and enters neurites to infect neurons of the peripheral nervous system. Growth factors and attractive and repulsive directional...

Gonzalez-Motos V, Jurgens C, Ritter B, Kropp K, Duran V, Larsen O, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2017 May; 13(5):e1006346. PMID: 28542541
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a highly prevalent human pathogen that establishes latency in neurons of the peripheral nervous system. Primary infection causes varicella whereas reactivation results in zoster, which...

Gonzalez-Motos V, Kropp K, Viejo-Borbolla A
Cytokine Growth Factor Rev . 2016 Mar; 30:71-80. PMID: 26987612
Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines whose main function is to direct cell migration. The chemokine network is highly complex and its deregulation is linked to several diseases including immunopathology, cancer and...
