Abstract excerpt
Mx is an interferon (IFN)-inducible intracellular protein found in various vertebrates that mediates resistance against negative-strand RNA viruses. We have demonstrated previously that feral mouse strains are able to express a functional Mx2 mRNA, while that of the inbred laboratory strains was non-functional because of a single nucleotide insertion in the open reading frame, and under the detectable level. In...
