Mechanisms of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Pathogenesis and Innate Immunomodulation

Abstract excerpt

The modulation of the immune response is a common practice of many highly pathogenic viruses. The emergence of the highly pathogenic coronavirus severe acute respiratory virus (SARS-CoV) serves as a robust model system to elucidate the virus-host interactions that mediate severe end-stage lung disease in humans and animals. Coronaviruses encode the largest positive-sense RNA genome of approximately 30 kb, encode...
