Human Cytomegalovirus Induces the Interferon Response via the DNA Sensor ZBP1
22 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a member of the betaherpesvirus family that, unlike other herpesviruses, triggers a strong innate immune response in infected cells that includes transcription of the beta interferon gene via activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). IRF3 activation requires signaling from pattern recognition receptors that is initiated by their interaction with specific...
