Triggering the Innate Antiviral Response through IRF-3 Activation

Open access
Hiscott, John·2007·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

Rapid induction of type I interferon (IFN) expression is a central event in the establishment of the innate immune response against viral infection and requires the activation of multiple transcriptional proteins following engagement and signaling through Toll-like receptor-dependent and -independent pathways. The transcription factor interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF-3) contributes to a first line of defense against viral infection by inducing the production of IFN-beta that in turn amplifies the IFN response and the development of antiviral activity. In murine knock-out models, the absence of IRF-3 and the closely related IRF-7 ablates IFN production and increases viral pathogenesis, thus supporting a pivotal role for IRF-3/IRF-7 in the development of the host antiviral response.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
