The NS2 Protein of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Suppresses the Cytotoxic T-Cell Response as a Consequence of Suppressing the Type I Interferon Response
26 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
The NS1 and NS2 proteins of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) have been shown to antagonize the type I interferon (IFN) response, an effect subject to host range constraints. We have now found that the HRSV NS2 protein strongly controls IFN induction in mouse cells in vitro, validating the use of the mouse model to study the consequences of these gene deletions on host immunity. We evaluated the effects of...
