Host defense, viruses and apoptosis
Cell Death & Differentiation volume 8, pages113–126(2001)Cite this article
Once the virus has invaded the cell, however, a second host defense-mediated response is also triggered which involves the induction of a family of cytokines known as the interferons (IFNs). The IFNs, which are essential for initiating and coordinating a successful antiviral response, function by stimulating the adaptive arm of immunity involving cytotoxic T cells (CTLs), and by inducing a number of intracellular genes that directly prevent virus replication/cytolysis or that facilitate apoptosis. The IFN-induced gene family is now known to comprise the death ligand TRAIL, the dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR), interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) and the promyelocytic leukemia gene (PML), all of which have been reported to be mediators of cell death.
