Human Cytomegalovirus Immediate-Early 2 Gene Expression Blocks Virus-Induced Beta Interferon Production
24 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
The effect of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gene expression on beta interferon (IFN-beta) expression was examined. We demonstrate that the HCMV immediate-early 2 (IE2) gene product IE86 can effectively block the induction of IFN-beta during HCMV infection. IE86 also efficiently blocked the induction of IFN-beta following Sendai virus infection, demonstrating that IE86's ability to block induction of IFN-beta is...
