Abstract excerpt
The dual oxidase enzymes, DUOX, localized to the respiratory tract epithelium, are important components of innate host defense against bacteria and virus. However, little is known regarding the regulation of DUOX transcription. To better understand DUOX2-mediated mechanisms of antiviral host defense in the airway epithelium, we designed a bidirectional promoter luciferase reporter system to identify important...
