Human MxA Protein Protects Mice Lacking a Functional Alpha/Beta Interferon System against La Crosse Virus and Other Lethal Viral Infections
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
The human MxA protein is part of the antiviral state induced by alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta). MxA inhibits the multiplication of several RNA viruses in cell culture. However, its antiviral potential in vivo has not yet been fully explored. We have generated MxA-transgenic mice that lack a functional IFN system by crossing MxA-transgenic mice constitutively expressing MxA with genetically targeted...
