Characterization of immunostimulatory components of orf virus (parapoxvirus ovis)
Journal of General Virology, 2011 Inactivated orf virus (ORFV, parapoxvirus ovis) induces antiviral activity in animal models of acute and chronic viral infections and exerts strong effects on human immune cells. ORFV activates antigen presenting cells (APC) via CD14 and, probably, Toll-like receptor signalling, and triggers the release of IFN-γ that has been identified as the key ...
