Description
Type-I (/) and -II () interferons (IFN), through an incompletely understood combination of redundant and unique mechanisms, are essential for host resistance to viral infection. We report a requirement for the Atg5-Atg12/Atg16L1 autophagosome elongation complex in IFN-mediated control of murine norovirus in macrophages. We use microarrays to compare transcriptional changes induced in control and Atg5 deficient macrophages by IFN treatment.
