Mechanisms Employed by Herpes Simplex Virus 1 to Inhibit the Interferon Response
Abstract
The interferon (IFN) family of cytokines constitutes potent inducers of innate antiviral responses that also influence adaptive immune processes. Despite eliciting such formidable cellular defense responses, viruses have evolved ways to interfere with the IFN response. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is an enveloped, dsDNA virus and a member of the herpesvirus family. Like other herpesvirus family members, HSV-1 has become highly specialized for …
