Japanese researchers have found that a protein moleculeincrease the secretion of type I interferon with antiviral effectsThe results are expected to make it possible to enhance the body's antiviral responseAccording to The Japanese media22,reported,the Japan Institute of Science and Science recently issued a press release,when the virus invades the human body
,the immune system toll-like receptors will recognize the virus, and send signals to the plasma cell-like dendritic cells, receiving the signal of the pulp cell-like dendritic cells will produce type I interferon antiviralThe specific mechanism by which plasma cell-like dendritic cells produce type I interferon is not yet known, but a protein molecule called PDC-TREM is only expressed when the plasma cell-like dendritic cells receive signals from the Toll-like receptor, the bulletin saidResearchers at the Institute of Immunologyand the Center for integratedAllergy Research found that if PDC-TREM was inhibited, type I interferon production was only about 10 percent of normalConversely, allowing PDC-TREM to be fully expressed can cause plasma cell-like dendritic cells to produce more type I interferon than is normalThe bulletin said that the plasma cell-like dendritic cells produced i interferon in the prevention of hepatitis C,influenza and other viral infections play an important roleTheof PDC-TREM was found tomake it possible to enhance the body's antiviral response
