Mouse cytomegalovirus inhibits beta interferon (IFN-β) gene expression and controls activation pathways of the IFN-β enhanceosome
17 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
We have investigated beta interferon (IFN-beta) and IFN-alpha4 gene expression and activation of related transcription factors in mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV)-infected fibroblasts. mRNA analysis demonstrated an initial phase of IFN gene induction upon MCMV infection, which was followed by a sustained MCMV-mediated simultaneous downregulation of IFN-beta and IFN-alpha4 gene expression. The induction of IFN...
