LOSS OF T-BET CONFERS SURVIVAL ADVANTAGE TO INFLUENZA–BACTERIAL SUPERINFECTION

Jun Zhi Er, Ricky Abdi Gunawan Koean & Jeak Ling Ding

Dept. Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, 10 Kent Ridge Crescent, Singapore 119260.

The transcription factor, T-bet, regulates type 1 inflammatory responses against a range of infections. Here, we demonstrate a previously unaddressed role of T-bet, to influenza virus and bacterial superinfection. Interestingly, we found that T-bet deficiency did not adversely affect the efficacy of viral clearance or recovery compared to wild-type hosts.
