1. The induction of the IFN expression is a critical event for innate immunity to disrupt viral replication in virus-infected cells. It has been demonstrated that viruses can evade host innate immunity by targeting the pathway for type I IFN activation. The regulation of the type I IFN production has been considered an important factor for virus pathogenicity. Since enteroviruses are important human pathogens that periodically causes several outbreaks with severe neurological complications in recent years, our lab is endeavoring to elucidate the mechanism for the regulation of signaling pathway for type I IFN production in enterovirus-infected cells. The understanding of the regulation of IFN production may provide the information for enterovirus pathogenicity and the basis for the development of new antiviral drugs.
2. The viral RNA synthesis is directly involved in the virus replication during influenza A virus infection. Base on pathogenicity studies, the viral polymerase has been considered as one of the contributors for the virulence of influenza viruses. Our lab is interested in verifying the polymerase activities of highly pathogenic influenza virus strains by several systems. In addition, influenza viral proteins interact with many host proteins. We are also investigating the impacts of the interactions in pathogenicity during influenza virus infection. |
