Molecular Cloning of Alternative Splicing Variants of the Porcine PML Gene and Its Expression Patterns During Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection

Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is a crucial component of PML-nuclear bodies (PML-NBs). PML and PML-NBs are involved in the regulation of various cellular functions, including the antiviral immune response. The human PML gene can generate several different isoforms through alternative splicing....

Molecular Cloning of Alternative Splicing Variants of the Porcine PML Gene and Its Expression Patterns During Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection
