MV spread is therefore likely to be connected with apoptosis and a preprogrammed mac-ropinocytic response of neighboring cells to apoptotic bodies. Vaccinia MVs use macropinocytosis and apoptotic mimicry to enter host cells. There are several advantages of using this entry strategy. First, it permits endocytic internalization of particles too big for other viral endocytic mechanisms. Second, it allows the virus to enter many different cell types, because PS-mediated clearance of apoptotic material is common to most cells (19, 26). Finally, by mimicking an apoptotic body, MVs may avoid immune detection as they spread to surrounding cells, because macropino-cytosis of apoptotic debris suppresses the activation of innate immune responses (26). The lack of macrophage infiltration and T cell maturation during murine lung infection by vaccinia (27) may be explained by this " silent " mechanism of cell-to-cell spread. and L. Pelkmans for assistance with siRNA screening; and the members of the Helenius lab for helpful discussion. Funding was obtained from ETH Zurich and the Roche Foundation. The mammalian vomeronasal organ detects complex chemical signals that convey information about gender, strain, and the social and reproductive status of an individual. How these signals are encoded is poorly understood. We developed transgenic mice expressing the calcium indicator G-CaMP2 and analyzed population responses of vomeronasal neurons to urine from individual animals. A substantial portion of cells was activated by either male or female urine, but only a small population of cells responded exclusively to gender-specific cues shared across strains and individuals. Female cues activated more cells and were subject to more complex hormonal regulations than male cues. In contrast to gender, strain and individual information was encoded by the combinatorial activation of neurons such that urine from different individuals activated distinctive cell populations. P heromones are a group of chemicals critical for social communication in many animal species (1, 2). Information on sex, strain, social rank, reproductive status, and terrestrial ownership is represented in the complex phero-mone components in urine and bodily secretions. In mice, detection of such complex chemical signals by the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and the olfactory epithelium plays an important role in triggering endocrine changes and eliciting innate territorial aggression and mating behaviors (3–5). The rodent VNO expresses more than 250 receptors that detect pheromones and transmit the signals to the brain (6–11). It is not well understood how these neurons encode information about gender and individuals. Urine contains hundreds or …
