Like SARS-CoV-2 delays interferon signaling in host cellsFebruary 7, 2021 at 11:28 PM A team of scientists from Sweden and India has recently conducted a study to evaluate type I interferon (IFN-I) responses in cells infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The findings reveal that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with a delayed and dysregulated IFN-I response and that pretreatment with IFN-I can reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.Tags: Health, Sweden, India, IFN 34 people like this.
