A chicken interferon stimulated gene screen reveals limited genes restricting influenza replication

Alison J. Barkhymer, Jordan T. Becker, Frances Shepherd, Clayton K. Mickelson, Lauren M. Pross, Mark Salnikov, Ryan Andrew Langlois

This study identifies interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in chicken, quail, and duck cells and performs a CRISPR knockout screen to find genes restricting influenza replication, revealing species-specific differences in antiviral immunity.
