Vliv interferon regulujícího faktoru 3 na imunitní odpověď proti viru vakcínie v atopickém organismu / Effects of the Interferon regulatory factor 3 on immune responses to vaccinia virus in the atopic organism

Vaccinia virus (VACV) is an enveloped DNA virus, member of the Orthopoxviridae genus. VACV genome size is about 200 kbp. This huge genome capacity allows VACV to encode a set of factors that are non-essential for virus replication and spread in vitro. While these factors are needed for interfering with host immune responses, VACV remains strongly immunogenic. Cell-mediated and humoral immune responses in atopic disorders are deregulated to a certain extent, leading to complications in case of infection or vaccination with vaccines based on replicating viruses, such as eczema vaccinatum caused by VACV. VACV effects on immune responses consist among others in the inhibition of expression of type I interferon (IFN) at various levels - for example in a specific inhibition of phosphorylation of the interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF-3) via inhibition of the activity of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK 1) that normally phosphorylates IRF-3. Phosphorylation allows IRF-3 to translocate into the nucleus where it initiates transcription of IFNβ followed by induction of expression of IFN and interferon stimulated genes. Expression of these genes is shut down when IRF-3 activity is inhibited. To overcome this block, a recombinant VACV expressing murine IRF-3 under VACV p7.5 promotor (WR-IRF3) was generated....
