STAT2-Dependent Immune Responses Ensure Host Survival despite the Presence of a Potent Viral Antagonist
9 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT A pathogen encounter induces interferons, which signal via Janus kinases and STAT transcription factors to establish an antiviral state. However, the host and pathogens are situated in a continuous arms race which shapes host evolution toward optimized immune responses and the pathogens toward enhanced immune-evasive properties. Mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) counteracts interferon responses by...
