Roles of Vaccinia Virus Genes E3L and K3L and Host Genes PKR and RNase L during Intratracheal Infection of C57BL/6 Mice
14 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
The importance of the 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)/RNase L and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-dependent protein kinase (PKR) pathways in host interferon induction resulting from virus infection in response to dsRNA has been well documented. In poxvirus infections, the interactions between the vaccinia virus (VV) genes E3L and K3L, which target RNase L and PKR, respectively, serve to prevent the induction of...
