Toscana Virus NSs Protein Inhibits the Induction of Type I Interferon by Interacting with RIG-I
4 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Toscana virus (TOSV) is a phlebovirus, of the Bunyaviridae family, that is responsible for central nervous system (CNS) injury in humans. Previous data have shown that the TOSV NSs protein is a gamma interferon (IFN-β) antagonist when transiently overexpressed in mammalian cells, inhibiting IRF-3 induction (G. Gori Savellini, F.
