Protective roles of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella Mx isoforms against grass carp reovirus.

<h4>Background</h4>Myxovirus resistance (Mx) proteins are crucial effectors of the innate antiviral response against a wide range of viruses, mediated by the type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling pathway. However, the antiviral activity of Mx proteins is diverse and complicated in differen...
