Avian influenza viruses suppress innate immunity by inducingtrans-transcriptional readthrough via SSU72.
Published: March, 2022

Abstract: Innate immunity plays critical antiviral roles. The highly virulent avian influenza viruses (AIVs) H5N1, H7N9, and H5N6 can better escape host innate immune responses than the less virulent seasonal H1N1 virus. Here, we report a mechanism by which...
