STAT3 Negatively Regulates Type I IFN-Mediated Antiviral Response
2 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Type I IFNs are crucial cytokines of innate immunity for combating viral infections. Signaling through type I IFN receptors triggers the activation of STAT proteins, including STAT1, STAT2, and STAT3. Although an essential role of STAT1 and STAT2 for type I IFN-induced antiviral response has been well established by studies of gene-targeted mice and human mutations, the role of STAT3 for this response remains...
