Abstract excerpt
Studies on the regulation of interferon (IFN) responsive genes have mainly been centred on the highly conserved IFN stimulated responsive elements (ISREs) which can mediate type I and II IFN inducibility. To date little is known about other functional cis-acting regulatory motifs in IFN responsive genes. We report here on the identification of a repressor element in the human MxA gene defined to a 19 base pair...
