Abstract excerpt
Interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) undergoes phosphorylation-induced activation in virus-infected cells and plays an important role in the antiviral innate immune response. The E3L protein encoded by vaccinia virus is known to impair phosphorylation and activation of IRF-3. Kinases in addition to I kappaB kinase-related kinases are implicated in the IRF-3-dependent antiviral response. To test in human cells...
