Abstract excerpt
The Sendai virus (SeV) C protein blocks signal transduction of interferon (IFN), thereby counteracting the antiviral actions of IFN. Using HeLa cell lines expressing truncated or mutated SeV C proteins, we found that the C-terminal half has anti-IFN capacity, and that K(151)A, E(153)A, and R(154)A substitutions in the C protein eliminated this capacity. Here, we further created the mutant virus SeV Cm*, in which...
