abstract = {Viral infections pose a significant global burden. Host
susceptibility to pathogens is determined by many factors
including genetic variation that can lead to immunodeficient
or dysregulated antiviral immune responses. Pax5
heterozygosity (Pax5-/+), resulting in reduced PAX5 levels
in mice, mimics germline or somatic PAX5 dysregulation
contributing to diseases such as childhood B-cell precursor
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). In contrast to the
well-characterized roles of PAX5 during early B-cell
development, little is known about how Pax5 heterozygosity
impacts antiviral responses. We infected Pax5-/+ mice with
the noncytopathic Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV)
and found that infection with the chronic Docile strain
resulted in decreased survival of Pax5-/+ mice. While early
adaptive CD8+ T-cell (CTL) immunity was robust in Pax5-/+
mice, LCMV-specific neutralizing antibody production was
compromised leading to impaired long-term viral clearance
and a pro-inflammatory milieu in the bone marrow (BM). Here
we show that survival outcomes were improved upon
prophylactic treatment with the β-glucan immune trainer
through induction of heterologous protection against chronic
infection. β-Glucan enhanced viral clearance, CTL immunity,
neutralizing antibody production and reduced monocyte
immunosuppression in multiple LCMV-resident host organs. New
insight from this study will help design effective
prophylactic treatment strategies against chronic viral
infections, particularly in genetically predisposed
susceptible hosts.},
