This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $147,486 to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to conduct research aimed at uncovering the proviral role of B cell-intrinsic STAT1 expression during chronic gammaherpesvirus infection. The research project leverages the murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) model to investigate how this virus usurps B cell-intrinsic STAT1 expression to...
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $682,879 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. to conduct research on the impact of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection on the development of human neural tissues. The 5-year project aims to: 1) define the transcriptional and cellular disruptions to developing human neural cells caused by HCMV infection, 2) determine the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $525,095 to the University of Rochester to conduct research on cellular determinants of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. The research aims to identify mechanisms through which the cellular factor JUNB can restrict HCMV infection and how the viral protein UL26 modulates JUNB's activity, with the goal of...
This $134,269 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855). The grant supports research led by the Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University School of Medicine, to characterize the structure and antigenic properties of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoprotein B (GB) in its prefusion state. The research aims to identify and isolate novel...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) provides $365,608 to Duke University to conduct research on human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection at the maternal-fetal interface. The primary objectives are to identify factors that restrict HCMV replication in trophoblasts, the predominant cell type in the placenta, and to define the impacts of HCMV-induced expression of the...
This Project Grant award of $666,567 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the transcriptional regulation of human natural killer (NK) cell function in response to viral infections, such as human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The key objectives are to determine the mechanisms by which the transcription factor MEF2C regulates NK cell...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $318,085 to support research on the role of antibodies in controlling virus infections through Fc-dependent mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytolysis (CDC). The research aims to elucidate the...
This Project Grant award of $1,454,386.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports fundamental research to better understand the epigenetic regulation of the HIV-1 viral RNA cap. The research aims to define the structural basis of HIV cap hypermethylation and its linkage to modulating host innate immune signaling, with the goal of developing new treatments to neutralize deleterious...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $3,085,097.00 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to study the role of cryptic influenza virus proteins in viral replication and pathogenesis. The research aims to characterize the interference activity and mechanism of action of these previously unknown viral proteins, define the full repertoire of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $426,939 to Virginia Commonwealth University to conduct research on the modulation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) replication by the viral "temperance factor" RL13. The research aims to determine the mechanism by which RL13 restricts CMV replication and how the immediate early 2 (IE2) protein isoforms impact RL13 activity. The findings...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) provides $290,132 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to study how the cellular protein SLBP promotes the infectivity of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). The goal is to identify and characterize the novel, pro-viral function of SLBP during HCMV infection. The research aims to determine the specific function of SLBP required to increase HCMV infectivity, characterize differences in the secretome during HCMV infection with and without SLBP, and pinpoint the stage of the infection cycle where HCMV virus stocks produced without SLBP are deficient. This 18-month project runs from Nov 2024 to Jun 2026.
