Human Cytomegalovirus IE86 Attenuates Virus- and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha-Induced NFκB-Dependent Gene Expression
15 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection regulates a number of genes involved in the host antiviral response. We have previously reported that HCMV attenuates the expression of beta interferon (IFN-beta) and a number of proinflammatory chemokines, and this attenuation is mediated by the HCMV immediate-early protein IE86. The present study seeks to identify the mechanism by which IE86 blocks IFN-beta expression. We...
