Cloning of influenza B NS1 gene in Escherichia Coli

The non-structural NS1 protein of influenza B virus is a multifunctional virulence protein which is involved in the transport of viral RNA. Inside the host cell, NS1B antagonizes and inhibits the a/ß interferon system which is induced as host antiviral response. Moreover, it prevents the activation...
