Transcriptional Regulation of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I by Flavivirus West Nile Is Dependent on NF‐κB Activation

Abstract excerpt

Infection by the flavivirus West Nile (WNV) is associated with a virus-specific increase of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules on the cell surface of diploid vertebrate cells. The increased MHC-I cell surface expression is functional and is associated with increased susceptibility to secondary WNV-immune and alloimmune cytotoxic T cells. WNV-induced up-regulation of cell surface MHC-I...
