Bluetongue Virus NS4 Protein Is an Interferon Antagonist and a Determinant of Virus Virulence
UNLABELLED Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the causative agent of bluetongue, a major infectious disease of ruminants with serious consequences to both animal health and the economy. The clinical outcome of BTV infection is highly variable and dependent on a variety of factors related to both the virus and the host. In this study, we show that the BTV nonstructural protein NS4 favors viral replicatio...
متن کاملThe interferon antagonist NS2 protein of respiratory syncytial virus is an important virulence determinant for humans.
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is targeted for vaccine development, because it causes severe respiratory tract illness in the elderly, young children, and infants. A primary strategy has been to derive live attenuated viruses for use in intranasally administered vaccines that will induce a protective immune response. In the present study, the NS2 gene, whose encoded protein antago...
متن کاملInterferon induction by bluetongue virus and bluetongue virus ribonucleic acid.
EKSTEEN, P. A . L. & HUISMAN S, H. Interferon induction by bluetongue virus and bluetongue virus ribonucleic acid. Onderstep oort]. vet . R es. 39(3), 125-132 (1972). The stimulation of interferon synthesis by bluetongue virus and by bluetongue virus ribonucleic acid was investigated in order to determine if there is a difference in the mechanism of induction. The molecular mass of the interfer...
متن کاملBluetongue virus-induced interferon synthesis.
HUlSMANS, H . Bluetongue virus-induced interferon synthesis. Onderstepoort J. vet . Res., 36 (2), 18!-186, .1969. Bluetongue virus was found to induce interferon in mouse embryo (ME) cells and in mice. Different strains of bluetongue virus differed in their ability to induce interferon. Interferon production in ME cells commences after a 5 hour lag phase and the cells continue to produce in ter...
متن کاملResistance to alpha/beta interferon is a determinant of West Nile virus replication fitness and virulence.
The emergence of West Nile virus (WNV) in the Western Hemisphere is marked by the spread of pathogenic lineage I strains, which differ from typically avirulent lineage II strains. To begin to understand the virus-host interactions that may influence the phenotypic properties of divergent lineage I and II viruses, we compared the genetic, pathogenic, and alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta)-re...
