TREX1 Knockdown Induces an Interferon Response to HIV that Delays Viral Infection in Humanized Mice
1 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
Despite their antiviral effect, the in vivo effect of interferons on HIV transmission is difficult to predict, because interferons also activate and recruit HIV-susceptible cells to sites of infection. HIV does not normally induce type I interferons in infected cells, but does if TREX1 is knocked down. Here, we investigated the effect of topical TREX1 knockdown and local interferon production on HIV transmission...
