Abstract excerpt
Paramyxovirus C protein targets the host interferon (IFN) system for virus immune evasion. To identify its unknown anti-IFN activity, we examined the effect of Sendai virus C protein on activation of the IFN-α promoter via various signaling pathways. This study uncovers a novel ability of C protein to block Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7- and TLR9-dependent IFN-α induction, which is specific to plasmacytoid dendritic...
