Measles Virus Circumvents the Host Interferon Response by Different Actions of the C and V Proteins
19 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Measles is an acute febrile infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality. The genome of measles virus (MV), the causative agent, encodes two accessory products, V and C proteins, that play important roles in MV virulence. The V but not the C protein of the IC-B strain (a well-characterized virulent strain of MV) has been shown to block the Jak/Stat signaling pathway and counteract the cellular interferon...
