The interferon-stimulating effect of immunomodulators is manifested after their combined inoculation with double-stranded NRAs (dsRNA) of natural and synthetic origin, and depends upon the time of administration of an inducer with respect to an immunomodulator and upon the dose of dsRNA. It is manifested as prolongation of interferon circulation in the bloodstream of animals up to 3 days when inosiplex is used as an immunomodulator. A still greater effect is observed when its derivative ASK is used instead of inosiplex. The interferon-stimulating effect of immunomodulators is due to cells of the immune system.

E26-transforming specific (ETS) variant 6 (ETV6) is a transcription factor regulating the expression of interferon stimulating genes (ISGs) and involved in the embryonic development and hematopoietic regulation, but the role of ETV6 in host response to virus infection is not clear. In this study, we show that ETV6 was upregulated in DF-1 cells with poly(I:C) stimulation or IBDV, AIV and ARV infection via engagement of dsRNA by MDA5. Overexpression of ETV6 in DF-1 cells markedly inhibited IBDV-induced type I interferon (IFN-I) and ISGs expressions.

Interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3), a member of the interferon-stimulating factor (ISG) family, has various antiviral functions. Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) mainly invades the bursa of Fabricius in chickens, causing a reduction in their immunity and resulting in death from secondary infections. Our previous study found that IBDV infection promotes the expression of chicken IFITM3.

Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) is a first-line drug for treating chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1) is one of the interferon-stimulating factors, which participates in the innate immunity of the host and plays an antiviral and antibacterial role. In this study, we explored how GBP1 is involved in IFN-α antiviral activity against HBV.

The exacerbation of pneumonia in children with human adenovirus type 3 (HAdV-3E) is secondary to a () infection. The influence of host-pathogen interactions on disease progression remains unclear. It is important to note that infections following an HAdV-3E infection are frequently observed in clinical settings, yet the underlying susceptibility mechanisms are not fully understood.

Marek's disease virus (MDV) causes a deadly lymphoproliferative disease in chickens, resulting in huge economic losses in the poultry industry. It has been suggested that MDV suppresses the induction of type I interferons and thus escapes immune control. Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H), a gene that encodes an enzyme that catalyses cholesterol to 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC), is an interferon-stimulating gene (ISG) known to exert antiviral activities.
