Abstract excerpt
In mammals, IFN regulatory factor (IRF) 3 is a critical player in modulating transcription of type I IFN and IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). In this study, we describe the roles of crucian carp (Carassius auratus L.) IRF3 in activating fish IFN and ISGs. Fish IRF3 exhibits a large sequence divergenc...
