The antimicrobial drug neomycin protects mice from some viral infections, complicating the picture of the relationship between antibiotics and susceptibility to viruses.

Signaling pathways triggered by the mother’s immune system may cause complications during fetal development.

Julius Youngner collaborated with Jonas Salk on the polio vaccine, and later identified interferon gamma and contributed to an equine influenza vaccine.

Type I interferon organizes several immune mechanisms to suppress B cell responses to a chronic viral infection.

Certain immune cells surrounding the organ appear to block viral entry.

A better knowledge of the pathogenesis of emerging zoonotic diseases is crucial if we want to prepare for “the next Ebola.”

Jean Lindemann, the virologist who helped figure out that interferons were responsible for anti-viral responses, has passed away at age 90.

Neurons may use interferon signals transmitted over great distances to fend off viral infection.
