INTERFERON REGULATORY FACTOR 8 REGULATES CASPASE-1 EXPRESSION TO FACILITATE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS REACTIVATION IN RESPONSE TO B CELL RECEPTOR STIMULATION AND CHEMICAL INDUCTION.

Interferon regulatory factor 8 regulates caspase-1 expression to facilitate Epstein-Barr virus reactivation in response to B cell receptor stimulation and chemical induction.

Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8), also known as interferon consensus sequence-binding protein (ICSBP), is a transcription factor of the IRF family.IRF8 plays a key role in normal B cell differentiation, a cellular process that is intrinsically associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation.However, whether IRF8 regulates EBV lytic repli

Comparative Effectiveness of Local Application of Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Mupirocin Ointment, and Normal Saline for the Prevention of Peritoneal Dialysis-related Infections (COSMO-PD Trial): a multicenter randomized, double-blind, controlled protocol

Abstract Background Current international guidelines recommend the use of read more a daily topical exit-site antimicrobial to prevent peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infections.Although nonantibiotic-based therapies are appealing because they may limit antimicrobial resistance, no controlled trials have been conducted to compare topical antimicro
