This is supported by three lines of evidence: i) lentiviruses expressing NiV-M strongly inhibited SeV-induced IFNβ induction but not pro-inflammatory cytokines in hMDDC, ii) infections with WT NiV reduce expression of TRIM6 protein and the formation of TRIM6-cytoplasmic bodies, iii) infections with a recombinant NiV lacking M protein rescue TRIM6 protein levels. This evidence concerns the gene IFNB1 and infection.
