MX gene,
a human gene that helps the body resist viral infections. When exposed to interferon, the MX gene inhibits the production of viral protein and nucleic acid necessary for the proliferation of new viral particles. The presence of the MX gene helps explain why some individuals are better able to resist certain viral infections, such as influenza, than other people. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | However, engineering chickens with an "always-on" Mx gene might be detrimental, so the strategy would be to make expression of the gene contingent on influenza infection. With recombinant DNA techniques, the scientists have transferred many copies of a normal Mx gene into cells of susceptible animals. |
