The Different Tactics of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus to Evade Innate Immunity
12 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Like all pathogens, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is recognized by the immune system inducing a heightened immune response mainly mediated by type I and type III interferons (IFNs). To overcome the strong antiviral response induced by these cytokines, FMDV has evolved many strategies exploiting each region of its small RNA genome. These include: a) inhibition of IFN induction at the transcriptional and...
