Unconventional IFNω-like Genes Dominate the Type I IFN Locus and the Constitutive Antiviral Responses in Bats
10 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Bats are the natural reservoir hosts of some viruses, some of which may spill over to humans and cause global-scale pandemics. Different from humans, bats may coexist with high pathogenic viruses without showing symptoms of diseases. As one of the most important first defenses, bat type I IFNs (IFN-Is) were thought to play a role during this virus coexistence and thus were studied in recent years. However, there...
