Human papillomaviruses target the double-stranded RNA protein kinase pathway
9 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
The double-stranded RNA protein kinase (PKR) pathway plays a vital role in the innate immune response to viral infection. Activation of PKR following virus entry can lead to a shutdown in translation, thereby inhibiting viral protein synthesis and replication. Little is currently known about whether human papillomaviruses (HPVs) modulate PKR expression and activity. In this study, normal human foreskin...
