The ESCRT-Related ATPase Vps4 Is Modulated by Interferon during Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Infection
ABSTRACT Interferons (IFNs) and autophagy are critical neuronal defenses against viral infection. IFNs alter neuronal autophagy by promoting the accumulation of IFN-dependent LC3-decorated autophagic structures, termed LC3 clusters. Here, we analyzed LC3 clusters in sensory ganglia following herpes...
