UNLABELLED: The mechanism of the interferon-alpha (IFNalpha)-induced antiviral response is not completely understood. We recently examined the transcriptional response to IFNalpha in uninfected chimpanzees. The transcriptional response to IFNalpha in the liver and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was rapidly induced but was also rapidly down-regulated, with most interferon-alpha-stimulated genes (ISGs)...
