Abstract
Most previous research exploring the interaction of alphaviruses with host cell antiviral responses has been conducted using fibroblast lineage cell lines. Previous studies have led to the discovery of virus-mediated activities that antagonize host cell antiviral defense pathways, such as host cell translation and transcription inhibition and suppression of STAT1 signaling. However, their relevance and impact upon myeloid lineage cell types, which are key responders during the initial stages of alphavirus infection
in vivo
, have not been well studied. Here, we demonstrate the different abilities of myeloid cells to resist VEEV infection compared to nonmyeloid cell types and begin to elucidate the mechanisms by which host antiviral responses are upregulated in myeloid cells despite the actions of virus-encoded antagonists.
