FAT10 is phosphorylated by IKK{beta} to inhibit the antiviral type-I interferon response

Introduction The innate immune system represents the host´s first-line defense against viral infections (Koyama et al, 2008). In this context, IFN-I are produced by all nucleated cells and represent the principal cytokines that counteract viral replication (Ivashkiv & Donlin, 2014). In fact, several receptors of the infected cell can recognize…
