canonical interferon stimulated genes such as IFIT2 or OAS2 were broadly induced, whereas interferon beta (IFNB1) and lambda (IFNL1-4) were expressed only in a subset of infected cells. In addition, temporal resolution of transcriptional responses suggested interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) ...
The STATs were originally discovered as critical players in interferon signaling mediated by cytokine receptors lacking intrinsic tyrosine kinase domains and employing the JAK kinases. To date, seven STAT family members have been described: STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B and STAT6 (Br...
