Interferon-induced genes of the expanded IFIT family show conserved antiviral activities in non-mammalian species.

Interferon-induced proteins with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFITs) are involved in the protective response to viral infection, although the precise mechanism of IFITs for reducing viral proliferation is currently unknown. The interaction with the translation initiation factor eIF-3 or viral proteins...
