Positive feedback regulation of type I <i>IFN</i> genes by the IFN‐inducible transcription factor IRF‐7
11 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
The interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family of transcription factors regulate the interferon (IFN) system, among which IRF-3 is involved in the virus-induced IFN-beta gene expression. Here we show that another member IRF-7 is critical for the IFN-alpha gene induction. Unlike the IRF-3 gene, the IRF-7 gene is induced by IFNs through activation of the ISGF3 transcription factor, and IRF-7 undergoes virus-induced...
