Interferons (IFNs) are important cytokines that regulate immune responses through the
activation of hundreds of genes, including interferon-induced transmembrane proteins …

While there is an abundance of epidemiological evidence implicating infectious agents in
the etiology of severe mental illnesses, postmortem studies have not yet detected an …

The interferon induced transmembrane-protein 3 (IFITM3) plays an important role in the
defence against viral infection. IFITM3 gene variants have been linked to differences in …

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) and transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) caused by porcine
epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) are two …

Abstract Background Foamy viruses (FVs) are retroviruses with unique replication strategies
that cause lifelong latent infections in their hosts. FVs can also produce foam-like cytopathic …

Interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) inhibits influenza virus infection by
blocking viral membrane fusion, but the exact mechanism remains elusive. Here, we …

IFITM proteins are a host restriction factor with broad-spectrum antiviral activity, but the role
in the paramyxovirus entry remains unclear. Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic virus of the …

Type III interferons (IFNLs) have critical roles in the host's innate immune system, also
serving as the first line against pathogenic infections of mucosal surfaces. In mammals …

In this investigation, single nucleotide variants (SNVs) within the chicken interferon-inducible
transmembrane protein (chIFITM) genes were explored in Aseel and Kadaknath breeds …

Interferon‑induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) serves a critical role in the immune
defense against viral infection, including that of severe acute respiratory syndrome …
