Antiviral effects of interferon-stimulated genes in bats
18 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
The interferon pathway is the first line of defense in viral infection in all mammals, and its induction stimulates broad expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). In mice and also humans, the antiviral function of ISGs has been extensively studied.
