Interferon gamma-induced MX1 and IFITM1 inhibit Varicella-Zoster Virus Replication
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is a potent cytokine secreted following primary varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection. Our previous studies demonstrated that pretreatment with IFN-γ completely inhibited VZV replication in lung fibroblast MRC-5 and retinal epithelial ARPE-19 but not in melanoma MeWo cells, suggesting that IFN...
