Activation and Inhibition of Virus and Interferon: The Herpesvirus Story
Abstract
Viral infection of a host leads to induction of an immune system attack against the virus along with a counterattack by the virus against the host. Interferons are highly upregulated upon viral infection and function as key regulators of the host innate defense system. Whereas many RNA viruses are sensitive to the effects of interferon, several of the large DNA viruses are relatively resistant, given their capacity to encode proteins that …
