Abstract excerpt
Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) were initially identified as regulators of IFN-alpha/beta genes and to date nine members have been determined in human and mouse. They share a conserved DNA-binding domain in the N-terminal portion that recognizes similar DNA sequences. Despite their similar DNA binding specificity, the IRFs show diverse functions in response to extra cellular stimuli. Although the study of...
