Duck Interferon-Inducible Transmembrane Protein 3 Mediates Restriction of Influenza Viruses
15 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Interferon-inducible transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) can restrict the entry of a wide range of viruses. IFITM3 localizes to endosomes and can potently restrict the replication of influenza A viruses (IAV) and several other viruses that also enter host cells through the endocytic pathway. Here, we investigate whether IFITMs are involved in protection in ducks, the natural host of influenza virus. We...
