Abstract: ABSTRACT Type I IFNs are considered to be the core IFN species in vertebrates because of their predominant antiviral effects. But, a puzzling question remains to be answered, as to how intronless type I IFN… read more here.

Abstract: Fish interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral innate immunity is the first line of defense against virus invasion. In the present study, we identify two fish IFN genes (here tentatively named IFNa and IFNc) with different-sized 3' UTRs… read more here.
