E2 Proteins of High Risk Human Papillomaviruses Down-Modulate STING and IFN-κ Transcription in Keratinocytes
10 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
In the early stages of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the viral proteins elicit specific immune responses that can participate to regression of ano-genital lesions. HPV E6 protein for instance can reduce type I interferon (IFN) including IFN-κ that is involved in immune evasion and HPV persistence. To evaluate the role of E2 protein in innate immunity in HPV16-associated cervical lesions, genome-wide...
