culminates in the oligomerization of these receptors and the activation of downstream transcription factors, most notably the interferon regulator factors (IRFs) and Nuclear Factor (NF)."

#antiviral defenses, which is mediated by the transcriptional induction of Type I and III interferons (IFN-I and IFN-III) and the subsequent upregulation of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs)"

#SARSCoV2 fails to launch a robust IFN-I/-III response, while simultaneously inducing high levels of chemokines needed to recruit effector cells."

#SARSCoV2 is capable of engaging the IFN-I and IFN-III systems, this response is prevented by an antagonist that is rendered ineffective under high MOI conditions."

guide immune cell activation and ISG induction."
