Interferon Stimulated Gene 15 Conjugates to Endometrial Cytosolic Proteins and Is Expressed at the Uterine-Placental Interface throughout Pregnancy in Sheep
5 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is a ubiquitin homolog expressed in uteri of ruminants in response to interferon (IFN)-tau and is also induced during pregnancy in the uteri of mice, pigs, humans, and baboons. This study examined expression of ISG15 and its conjugation to target proteins in the ovine uterus beyond the period of IFNtau secretion by the conceptus. Although steady-state levels of ISG15 mRNA...
