Caveats of Using Overexpression Approaches to Screen Cellular Host IFITM Proteins for Antiviral Activity
Ectopic protein overexpression in immortalised cell lines is a commonly used method to screen host factors for their antiviral activity against different viruses. However, the question remains as to what extent such artificial protein overexpression recapitulates endogenous protein function. Previou...
