Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I (MHC‐I) Induction by West Nile Virus: Involvement of 2 Signaling Pathways in MHC‐I Up‐Regulation
11 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Type 1 interferon (IFN) receptor gene knockout (IFNAR(-/-)) mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) are more susceptible to and productive of West Nile virus (WNV) and produce less type 1 IFN than WNV-infected wild-type (wt) MEFs. WNV infection of IFNAR(-/-) MEFs induced activation of a p65/p50 heterodimer of nuclear factor (NF)- kappa B and up-regulation of cell-surface expression of major histocompatibility complex...
