Anaphase-promoting complex (APC) in the replication of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)
Area: Virology
Infection of quiescent cells by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) elicits severe cell cycle deregulation resulting in a G1/S arrest, which can be partly attributed to the inactivation of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC). Various anti-CMV antibodies against ICP36, ICP8, UL83 and pp28 were used in a recent study, addressing the question what causes this effect. The results suggest that a viral early gene product is involved in APC degradation.

Infected Cell Polypeptide 27 (ICP27) in the replication of Herpes Simplex Viruses
Area: Virology
A study published this month investigated infections of cells by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) using a HSV ICP27 (Infected cell polypeptide 27) antibody, which is an essential and multifunctional regulator of viral gene expression. HSV infection triggers host cell shutoff whereby mRNAs are degraded and cellular protein synthesis is diminished. However, ICP27 apparently does not affect poly(A)-binding Protein 1 (PABP1), a protein required for translational initiation.

Adiponectin: Plasma biomarker for osteonecrosis of the femoral head
Area: Inflammation
A recent study utilized an adiponektin ELISA kit that is available on antibodies-online. The study examined whether plasma adiponectin levels are correlated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Adiponektin may be a useful biomarker, since patients with nontraumatic ONFH had significantly lower plasma levels of adiponectin than the healthy controls. Other factors, such as plasma LDL, HDL, apoA1, apo B, Cholesterol, TGs and CRP showed no correlation.
