Activation of interferon regulatory factor-3 via toll-like receptor 3 and immunomodulatory functions detected in A549 lung epithelial cells exposed to misplaced U1-snRNA [PDF]
U1-snRNA is an integral part of the U1 ribonucleoprotein pivotal for pre-mRNA splicing. Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling has recently been associated with immunoregulatory capacities of U1-snRNA.

Epstein-Barr Virus LF2: an Antagonist to Type 1 Interferon [PDF]
Upon viral infection, the major defense mounted by the host immune system is activation of the interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral pathway, which is mediated by IFN regulatory factors (IRFs).

Interferon regulatory factor-7 modulates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with unknown etiology. Interferon-β (IFN-β), a member of the type I IFN family, is used as a therapeutic for MS and the IFN signaling pathway is implicated ...

IKKε isoform switching governs the immune response against EV71 infection
Chang et al. show that Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection upregulates IKKε isoform 2 (IKKε v2), which in turn activates interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7).

Protective Role of Interferon Regulatory Factor 3-Mediated Signaling against Prion Infection [PDF]
Abnormal prion protein (PrP Sc) generated from the cellular isoform of PrP (PrP C) is assumed to be the main or sole component of the pathogen, called prion, of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE).

Transcriptional responses of tumor cell lines to interferon-alpha [PDF]
Interferon is an antiviral and antiproliferative cytokine therapeutically applied to treat hepatitis infection and cancer expansion. The beneficial effects of interferon-alpha are dependent on efficient signaling by activation of defined JAK-STAT pathway

Of Mice and Men and Cattle: Functions of the Pneumovirus Nonstructural Proteins NS1 and NS2 in Interferon Escape [PDF]
Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), family Paramyxoviridae, subfamily Pneumovirinae, is a major etiological agent of respiratory tract disease in calves. A peculiarity of pneumoviruses is the presence of two unique nonstructural protein genes, NS1
