IFITMs Inhibit Cell Fusion Mediated by Trophoblast Syncytins

2019-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Type I interferon (IFN) induced by virus infections during pregnancy causes placental damage, though the mechanisms and identities of IFN-stimulated genes that are involved remain under investigation. The IFN-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) inhibit virus infections by preventing virus membrane fusion with cells and by inhibiting fusion of infected cells (syncytialization). Fusion of placental trophoblasts...
