An investigation into the inhibition of interferon action by fowlpox virus proteins

This work is concerned with the ability of poxviruses to overcome the antiviral state induced by interferons. A major part of the antiviral state induced by interferons is mediated by PKR, a serine/threonine protein kinase activated by dsRNA which phosphorylates eIF-2a, thereby inhibiting translatio...
