Inhibition of Hepatitis B Virus Replication by the Interferon-Inducible MxA Protein
15 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human MxA is an alpha/beta interferon-inducible intracytoplasmic protein that mediates antiviral activity against several RNA viruses. We had previously shown that overexpression of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid led to selective downregulation of MxA gene expression, suggesting a mechanism by which the virus escapes from the host defense system (O.
