Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism by which virus induces expression of the early inflammatory genes has not yet been completely elucidated. Previous studies indicated that the virus-mediated transcription of type I interferon (IFN) genes required activation of two members of IFN regulatory factor (IRF) family, IRF-3 and IRF-7, where the expression of IRF-7 was found to be indispensable for the induction of IFNA genes. To...
