Kropp K, Hsieh W, Isern E, Forster T, Krause E, Brune W, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2015 Apr; 11(4):e1004737. PMID: 25856589
Viral engagement with macrophages activates Toll-Like-Receptors (TLRs) and viruses must contend with the ensuing inflammatory responses to successfully complete their replication cycle. To date, known counter-strategies involve the use of...

Gut Microbes . 2015 Jan; 5(6):711-8. PMID: 25562731
A characteristic feature of the opportunistic foodborne pathogen Cronobacter sakazakii is its ability to survive in extremely arid environments, such as powdered infant formula, making it a dangerous opportunistic pathogen...

Blanc M, Hsieh W, Robertson K, Kropp K, Forster T, Shui G, et al.
Immunity . 2013 Jan; 38(1):106-18. PMID: 23273843
Recent studies suggest that the sterol metabolic network participates in the interferon (IFN) antiviral response. However, the molecular mechanisms linking IFN with the sterol network and the identity of sterol...

Seckert C, Griessl M, Buttner J, Scheller S, Simon C, Kropp K, et al.
Med Microbiol Immunol . 2012 Sep; 201(4):551-66. PMID: 22991040
Low public awareness of cytomegalovirus (CMV) results from the only mild and transient symptoms that it causes in the healthy immunocompetent host, so that primary infection usually goes unnoticed. The...

Kropp K, Robertson K, Sing G, Rodriguez-Martin S, Blanc M, Lacaze P, et al.
J Virol . 2011 Jul; 85(19):10286-99. PMID: 21775459
Activated macrophages play a central role in controlling inflammatory responses to infection and are tightly regulated to rapidly mount responses to infectious challenge. Type I interferon (alpha/beta interferon [IFN-α/β]) and...

Lemmermann N, Kropp K, Seckert C, Grzimek N, Reddehase M
J Biomed Biotechnol . 2011 Jan; 2011:812742. PMID: 21253509
The advent of cloning herpesviral genomes as bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) has made herpesviruses accessible to bacterial genetics and has thus revolutionised their mutagenesis. This opened all possibilities of reverse...

Podlech J, Pintea R, Kropp K, Fink A, Lemmermann N, Erlach K, et al.
J Virol . 2010 Apr; 84(12):6254-61. PMID: 20375164
Major immediate-early transcriptional enhancers are genetic control elements that act, through docking with host transcription factors, as a decisive regulatory unit for efficient initiation of the productive virus cycle. Animal...

Kropp K, Simon C, Fink A, Renzaho A, Kuhnapfel B, Podlech J, et al.
J Gen Virol . 2009 Jun; 90(Pt 10):2395-2401. PMID: 19553390
Major immediate-early (MIE) transcriptional enhancers of cytomegaloviruses are key regulators that are regarded as determinants of virus replicative fitness and pathogenicity. The MIE locus of murine cytomegalovirus (mCMV) shows bidirectional...
