Abstract

West Nile virus (WNV) employs several different strategies to escape the innate immune response. We have previously demonstrated that the WNV NS1 protein interferes with signal transduction from Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3). NS1 is a glycoprotein that can be found intracellularly or associated with the plasma membrane. In addition, NS1 is secreted to high levels during flavivirus infections. We investigated whether the secreted form of NS1 inhibits innate immune signaling pathways in uninfected cells. Secreted NS1 (sNS1) was purified from supernatants of cells engineered to express the protein. Purified sNS1 associated with and repressed TLR3-induced cytokine production by HeLa cells, and inhibited signaling from TLR3 and other TLRs in bone marrow-derived macrophages and dendritic cells. Footpad administration of sNS1 showed the protein associated predominantly with macrophages and dendritic cells in the draining lymph node. Additionally, sNS1 significantly reduced TLR3 signaling and WNV replicon particle-mediated cytokine transcription in popliteal lymph nodes.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 June 2014.
All research outputs
#4,364,865
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Virology
#1,383
of 9,499 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,834
of 241,807 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Virology
#5
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,499 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 241,807 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
