Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 5 of black fruit bat (Pteropus alecto) displays a broad inhibition of RNA viruses
18 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Bats are natural host reservoirs and have adapted a unique innate immune system that permits them to host many viruses without exhibiting symptoms. Notably, bat interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) have been shown to play antiviral roles. Interferon induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 5 (IFIT5) is a well-characterised ISG in humans with antiviral activities against negative-sense RNA viruses via...
