Abstract:The HTLV-1 infection is known to induce an alteration of type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling since it is capable of escaping IFN-mediated immune response in vitro and Tax-1 protein modulates the expression of factors involved in the interferon signaling. In the present study we have investigated the effect of Tax-1 and Tax-2 expression on the activation of an IFN-regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) regulated promoter through the recruitment of the IFN-I upstream IKKε and TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) factors, two IkBrel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
