Global and Distinct Targets of IRF-5 and IRF-7 during Innate Response to Viral Infection
12 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
The interferon regulatory factors (IRF) are transcriptional mediators of cellular response to viral invasion that play a critical role in the innate antiviral defense. Two of these factors, IRF-5 and IRF-7, play a critical role in the induction of interferon (IFNA) genes in infected cells; they are expressed constitutively in monocytes, B cells, and precursors of dendritic cells (pDC2) that are high producers of...
