MAVS disruption impairs downstream signaling and results in higher virus replication levels of salmonid alphavirus subtype 3 but not infectious pancreatic necrosis virus in vitro

Abstract excerpt

The mitochondrial anti-viral signaling (MAVS) protein is an intermediary adaptor protein of retinoic acid-inducible gene-1 (RIG-I) like receptor (RLR) signaling, which activates the transcription factor interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and NF-kB to produce type I IFNs. MAVS expression has been reported in different fish species, but few studies have shown its functional role in anti-viral responses to...
