Murine gamma herpesvirus 68 hijacks MAVS and IKKβ to abrogate NFκB activation and antiviral cytokine production.

Upon viral infection, mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) protein serves as a key adaptor to promote cytokine production. We report here that murine gamma herpesvirus 68 (γHV68), a model virus for oncogenic human gamma herpesviruses, subverts cytokine production via the MAVS adaptor. During ear...
