First contribution to water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) type-I/III interferons – induced Mx1 detection and anti-viral activity
Introduction Myxovirus resistance protein 1 (Mx1) is a type I/III interferons-induced protein conferring the hosts an antiviral property against several viruses. The protein is also found to be a potential biomarker for early detection of viral infections in many vertebrates. In humans, MxA and MxB proteins have been studied intensively for decades and it has......
