Transcriptional analysis of immune-related gene expression in p53-deficient mice with increased susceptibility to influenza A virus infection
17 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: p53 is a tumor suppressor that contributes to the host immune response against viral infections in addition to its well-established protective role against cancer development. In response to influenza A virus (IAV) infection, p53 is activated and plays an essential role in inhibiting IAV replication. As a transcription factor, p53 regulates the expression of a range of downstream responsive genes...
