Human Metapneumovirus M2-2 Protein Acts as a Negative Regulator of Alpha Interferon Production by Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells
3 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) has the ability to inhibit Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)- and TLR9-dependent alpha interferon (IFN-α) production by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). However, the inhibition mechanism remains largely unknown. To identify viral proteins responsible for this inhibition, we performed a screening of HMPV open reading frames (ORFs) for the ability to block TLR7/9-dependent...
