Abstract excerpt
STING (stimulator of IFN genes) activates the IFN pathway in response to cytosolic DNA. Knockout of STING in mice was reported to exacerbate the pathogenicity of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). Here we report the following: (i) STING is stable in cancer-derived HEp-2 or HeLa cells infected with wild-type HSV-1 but is degraded in cells infected with mutants lacking the genes encoding functional infected cell...
