Ectopic expression of microRNA-155 enhances innate antiviral immunity against HBV infection in human hepatoma cells
18 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Host innate antiviral immunity is the first line of defense against viral infection, and is precisely regulated by thousands of genes at various stages, including microRNAs. MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) was found to be up-regualted during viral infection, and influence the host immune response. Besides, the expression of miR-155, or its functional orthologs, may also contribute to viral oncogenesis. HBV is...
