Brief description Interferons are the first line of defence against viral infection. We have shown that the transcription factor promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger protein (PLZF) is a novel regulator of the interferon response. Thus we hypothesize that PLZF is a critical component of the host's innate immune system. This study will provide new insights into the understanding of signal transduction mechanisms, as well as improve our ability to modulate sensitivity to interferon to protect against viral diseases.
