A Determinant of Sindbis Virus Neurovirulence Enables Efficient Disruption of Jak/STAT Signaling
26 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies with Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus and Sindbis virus (SINV) indicate that alphaviruses are capable of suppressing the cellular response to type I and type II interferons (IFNs) by disrupting Jak/STAT signaling; however, the relevance of this signaling inhibition toward pathogenesis has not been investigated. The relative abilities of neurovirulent and nonneurovirulent SINV strains to...
