Chemokines cooperate with TNF to provide protective anti-viral immunity and to enhance inflammation

Cytokines play critical roles in the anti-viral response but their contribution in vivo remains unclear. Here the authors show that viral CrmD is a major virulence determinant and requires the SECRET and TNF binding domains to counter both the chemokine and cytokine driven inflammatory defenses.
