LAB RESEARCH PROFILE:
Our lab has worked to study biology of cancers mediated by viruses, and molecular basis of virus mediated host
immuno-suppression. Tumor viruses have provided relatively simple genetic systems, which can be manipulated
for understanding the molecular mechanisms of the cellular transformation process. A growing body of
information in the tumor virology field provides several prospects for rationally targeted therapies. However,
further research is needed to better understand the multiple mechanisms utilized by these viruses in cancer

progression in order to develop therapeutic strategies. The major focus of our lab has been to investigate virus
host interactions using various tools including cell culture system and mice models. Primarily, we study three
human tumor associated viruses, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Kaposi sarcoma associated herepesvirus (KSHV), and
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).
In addition, we have been working on understanding the molecular basis of peste-des-petits ruminants virus
(PPRV) mediated host immune modulation for the development of next generation vaccine. Immuno-suppression
and innate immunity control by morbilliviruses such as PPRV in small ruminants and measles in human remains a
leading cause of death among infected host because it suppresses immune function, facilitating secondary
infections. The basic mechanisms underlying PPRV-induced immunosuppression are poorly understood. The
extent of viral replication documented in immune cells implies that it can directly cause immunosuppression. Our
central hypothesis is that these viruses have evolved a multi-pronged host cell control strategy that allow them to
replicate to high levels in host cells and induce generalized immunosuppression by interfering in cellular immune
signaling pathways. The work will be important for more comprehensive understanding of basic cellular processes,
in addition to providing us with targets to focus for development of anti-viral therapeutics and better safer non-
immunosuppressive vaccines.
Very recently, our proposal to generate specific single domain antibodies (sdAbs) against antimicrobial resistant
Mastitis pathogens for clinical therapeutic use in dairy animals has been approved for funding by DBT-BIRAC.
Mastitis is a clinically relevant disease of dairy animals that has implications much beyond the infected animal,
and is of immense importance for human health as well under ‘One-Health’ concept which requires integrated
evaluation of human and animal health for optimal health outcome for all. The expected outcome of this project
will be the discovery and development of cost affordable and accessible single domain monoclonal antibodies
(sdMab) against three of the Mastitis causing antimicrobial resistant bacteria. The proposal includes all the steps
from identification of antibody targets, screening of antibodies, and their characterization and potency testing,
process optimization for their production on large scale, and testing their efficacy in lab model as pre-clinical
testing. In future, the antibody will be tested clinically on animals suffering from mastitis. We expect to achieve
all these goals upto pre-clinical testing in time frame of 3 years. The antibodies so developed will be useful for
treatment of animals in reducing the duration of treatment especially in case of mastitis caused by drug resistant
bacteria. The antibody formulation for clinical use will be for intra-mammary application in sick animals.
