Genomic Structure of the Mouse 2',5'-Oligoadenylate Synthetase Gene Family

Abstract excerpt

2',5'-Oligoadenylate synthetase (2-5OAS) is one of the interferon (IFN)-induced proteins and mediates the antiviral action of IFN. In human, three classes of 2-5OAS genes (OAS1, OAS2, and OAS3) and one OAS-like gene (OASL) are reported. In mice, however, OAS genes corresponding to human OAS2 and OAS3 have not been identified. In this report, we identified six novel OAS family genes in mice by screening mouse...
