The Antiviral and Antitumor Effects of Defective Interfering Particles/Genomes and Their Mechanisms

Defective interfering particles (DIPs), derived naturally from viral particles, are not able to replicate on their own. Several studies indicate that DIPs exert antiviral effects via multiple mechanisms. DIPs are able to activate immune responses and suppress virus replication cycles, such as compet...
