Abstract excerpt
Interferons (IFNs) encode a family of secreted proteins that provide the front-line defence against viral infections. It was recently shown that ISG20, a new 3'-->5' exoribonuclease member of the DEDD superfamily of exonucleases, represents a novel antiviral pathway in the mechanism of IFN action. In this report, it was shown that ISG20 expression is rapidly and strongly induced during human immunodeficiency...
