The innate immuneresponse to viral infection depends on the integrity of thisnetwork of cytokines, whichis tightly regulated [19]. This in vivo situation led us to query whether the administra-tion ... to investigate whether the administration of meliacine to HSV-2 infected micecould altered the homoestasis of IFNs host response. For this purpose we studied the effect of the compound 1-cinnamoyl-3,11-dihydroxymeliacarpin...
