Abstract excerpt
Activation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2 )(cPLA(2)) is a prerequisite for the formation of the transcription factor complex interferon-stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3) in response to interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha). Here we show that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), an activator of cPLA(2), is essential for both IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma signalling. SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38, was found to...
