Abstract excerpt
The generation of mice lacking the expression of the IRF3 transcription factor (Irf3(-/-) mice) has revealed its crucial role in the activation of the type I IFN response. The Bcl2l12 gene, encoding Bcl2L12 protein structurally related to the Bcl-2 family, was found to almost overlap with the Irf...
