(2017) showed that lncRNA aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1) might be induced by viral infection through a pathway that is independent of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3)/type I IFN (IFN‐I) signalling, but dependent on the NF‐κB‐dependent pathway. This evidence concerns the gene NFKB1 and viral infectious disease.
