“…IFN-γ upregulates NOS-1 expression posttranscriptionally and increases NO production, which is essential in the clearance of VSV infection by neurons (Bi and Reiss, 1995;Komatsu, et al, 1996;Chesler et al, 2004). VSV is not unique; other neurotropic viruses whose replication is inhibited by NO include CMV (Cosugi, et al, 2002), HIV (Hori et al, 1999), HSV-1 (Kodukula, et al, 1999), MHV (Lane, et al, 1997), Poliovirus (Komatsu, et al, 1996), and Reovirus (Goody, et al, 2005). But how this antiviral process is regulated largely remains unknown.…”
