Modulation of alpha interferon anti-hepatitis C virus activity by ISG15
3 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
ISG15 has recently been reported to possess antiviral properties against viruses, both in vivo and in vitro. Knock-down of ISG15 gene expression by small interfering RNA followed by alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) treatment in Huh-7 cells resulted in an increased phenotypic sensitivity to IFN-alpha, as determined by measuring hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA replication inhibition in stably transfected HCV replicon cells...
