Abstract excerpt
IFN regulatory factor (IRF) 4 is a hematopoietic cell-specific transcription factor that regulates the maturation and differentiation of immune cells. Using an inducible expression system, we found that IRF4 directly induced a specific subset of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) in a type I IFN-independent manner in both epithelial and B cell lines. Moreover, Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)-encoded viral...
