Journal Article
van Knippenberg, I., Fragkoudis, R., & Elliott, R. (2013). The transient nature of Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus NSs protein expression: effects of increased stability of NSs protein on virus replication. PLOS ONE, 8(5), Article e64137. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0064137

The NSs proteins of bunyaviruses are the viral interferon antagonists, counteracting the host's antiviral response to infection. During high-multiplicity infection of cultured mammalian cells with Bunyamwera orthobunyavirus (BUNV), NSs is rapidly deg...
