EIF2AK2 and infection: Infection of cells with overexpression of ZBP1 showed that the replication of SVA was inhibited with the enhanced expression of IFNs (IFN-α, IFN-β), ISGs (ISG15, PKR, and IFIT1) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α), while, infected-cells with interference expression of ZBP1 showed opposite effects.
