The Host Response to West Nile Virus Infection Limits Viral Spread through the Activation of the Interferon Regulatory Factor 3 Pathway
25 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Recent outbreaks of West Nile Virus (WNV) have been associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality in humans, birds, and many other species. We have initiated studies to define the molecular mechanisms by which a recent pathogenic isolate of WNV evades the host cell innate antiviral response. Biochemical and microarray analyses demonstrated that WNV induced the expression of beta interferon (IFN-beta) and...
