Suppression of IFN-induced transcription underlies IFN defects generated by activated Ras/MEK in human cancer cells.

Certain oncolytic viruses exploit activated Ras signaling in order to replicate in cancer cells. Constitutive activation of the Ras/MEK pathway is known to suppress the effectiveness of the interferon (IFN) antiviral response, which may contribute to Ras-dependent viral oncolysis. Here, we identifie...
