Advances in anti-viral immune defence: revealing the importance of the IFN JAK/STAT pathway.
(Springer, 2017)Interferon-alpha (IFN-a) is a potent anti-viral cytokine, critical to the host immune response against viruses. IFN-a is first produced upon viral detection by pathogen recognition receptors. Following its expression, IFN-a ... -
Hepatitis C Virus targets the Interferon-? JAK/STAT pathway by promoting proteasomal degradation in immune cells and hepatocytes.
(2013)JAK/STAT signalling is essential for anti-viral immunity, making IFN-α an obvious anti-viral therapeutic. However, many HCV+ patients fail treatment, indicating that the virus blocks successful IFN-α signalling. We found ...
