[Investigation of the role of ribonuclease L gene in the response of tonsil tissues against viral infections].

Abstract excerpt

Mutations or variants that impair function of ribonuclease L (RNase-L), particularly R462Q, have been proposed as susceptibility factors for the innate antiviral response. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the expression levels of RNase-L and mutation of R462Q in the tonsils of tonsillectomy patients who were infected and not infected with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), Epstein-Barr virus...
