NIH grant awarded to study the antiviral mechanisms of ncISG15 against influenza virus, including its interaction with viral proteins, aiming for therapeutic insights.
Description
This is a NIH grant project focusing on influenza virus inhibition mechanisms involving the ISG15 gene and its alternative splicing isoform ncISG15. The project aims to elucidate the antiviral activity of ncISG15 and its interaction with viral proteins such as NS1, with potential therapeutic implications.
