Figure 2 Cellular response to IFNs. Newly synthesized IFN-α/β binds to its cognate receptor (IFNAR) and activates the expression of numerous IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) via the JAK/STAT pathway. ADAR, P56, OAS and PKR are IFN-stimulated gene products with antiviral properties against HCV. The SOCS and PIAS proteins negatively regulate the IFN-induced signaling pathway at different stages.
