Brief description In response to an infection cells within the body are capable of expressing a range of molecules that help them resist infection, one such molecule is interferon induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3). This recently identified but poorly studied potent antiviral protein dramatically influences the course of influenza infection in both mice and humans. We will explore the mechanisms of antiviral activity of IFITM3 and determine factors important in initiating and retaining expression.
