A human cytomegalovirus antagonist of type I IFN-dependent signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling
23 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Type I IFNs are crucial components of the innate immune response to viral attack. They are rapidly synthesized and secreted after infection with human cytomegalovirus (CMV) and trigger a signal transduction pathway that involves successive activation and nuclear translocation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and STAT2.
