Unconventional <i>IFNω</i> -like genes dominate the type I IFN locus and the constitutive antiviral responses in bats
2024-02-24
Abstract excerpt
Bats are the natural reservoir hosts of some viruses, some of which may spillover to humans and cause global-scale pandemics. Different to humans, bats may coexist with high pathogenic viruses without showing symptoms of diseases. As one of the most important first defenses, bat type I interferon (IFN-Is) were thought to play a role during this virus coexistence and thus were studied in recent years. However, ther...
