Mechanisms of Reovirus-Induced Cell Death and Tissue Injury: Role of Apoptosis and Virus-Induced Perturbation of Host-Cell Signaling and Transcription Factor Activation
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Reoviruses have provided insight into the roles played by specific viral genes and the proteins they encode in virus-induced cell death and tissue injury. Apoptosis is a major mechanism of cell death induced by reoviruses. Reovirus-induced apoptosis involves both death-receptor and mitochondrial cell death pathways. Reovirus infection is associated with selective activation of mitogen activated protein kinase...
