RIG‐I is a key antiviral interferon‐stimulated gene against hepatitis E virus regardless of interferon production
13 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Interferons (IFNs) are broad antiviral cytokines that exert their function by inducing the transcription of hundreds of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). However, little is known about the antiviral potential of these cellular effectors on hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, the leading cause of acute hepatitis globally. In this study, we profiled the antiviral potential of a panel of important human ISGs on HEV...
