Critical Protein That Could Unlock West Nile/Zika Virus Treatments Identified by Researchers

A protein that is critical in controlling replication of West Nile and Zika viruses – and could be important for developing therapies to prevent and treat those viruses – has been identified by a Georgia State University biologist and his research group.The researchers found Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) is a sensor that plays a significant role in triggering a robust immune response when it detects a viral infection within cells.
