CYBB and viral infectious disease: First we demonstrate that PKC activation following virus infection, which is critical for NOX2 activation, is significantly impaired if: (1) the virus is prevented from entering cells (Fig. 2h, i); (2) endosome acidification is blocked by Bafilomycin A (Fig. 2h, i) or (3) if TLR7 is absent (i.e., TLR7−/− macrophages are used).
