BACKGROUND The interferons (IFNs) have been extensively studied in the context of host defence against viral infection. In the established model of IFN action, virally infected cells secrete type I IFNs (IFN-alpha/beta) which induce an antiviral state in uninfected cells. However, it is not clear how IFNs function on the infected cells. It has been reported that cells infected by some viruses die by apoptosis. RESULTS In the present study, we found that three types of viruses commonly induce… CONTINUE READING
