Human influenza viruses activate an interferon-independent transcription of cellular antiviral genes: Outcome with influenza A virus is unique
11 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
We examine the IFN-alpha/beta-independent activation of cellular transcription that constitutes an early antiviral response of cells against influenza A and B viruses, which cause widespread epidemics in humans. We show that influenza B virus induces the synthesis in human cells of several mature mRNAs encoded by genes containing an IFN-alpha/beta-stimulated response element (ISRE). Consequently, the IFN...
