Stunned silence: gene expression programs in human cells infected with monkeypox or vaccinia virus.
Poxviruses use an arsenal of molecular weapons to evade detection and disarm host immune responses.We used DNA microarrays to investigate the gene expression responses to infection by monkeypox trailmaster challenger 200x virus (MPV), an emerging human pathogen, and Vaccinia virus (VAC), a widely used model and vaccine organism, in primary human ma
