Expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) impairs viral clearance and exacerbates lung injury during influenza infection.

Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins are inducible feedback inhibitors of cytokine signaling. SOCS1-/- mice die within three weeks postnatally due to IFN-γ-induced hyperinflammation.
