NS3 of Bluetongue Virus Interferes with the Induction of Type I Interferon
9 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Upon infection with Bluetongue virus (BTV), an arthropod-borne virus, type I interferon (IFN-I) is produced in vivo and in vitro. IFN-I is essential for the establishment of an antiviral cellular response, and most if not all viruses have elaborated strategies to counteract its action.
