Reoviruses and the Interferon System

  • Chapter
Reoviruses II

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 233/2))

Abstract

What are interferons (IFNs)? How do IFNs function to reduce the efficiency of reovirus replication? Considerable progress has been made toward answering these and many other important questions concerning the IFN system. In the course of answering these questions fundamental new insights have been gained that advance our understanding of the processes used to control gene expression in animal cells.
