Raf/MEK/ERK pathway activation is required for Junín virus replication
In the present work we investigated the importance of the Raf/MEK/ERK signalling pathway in the multiplication of the arenavirus Junín (JUNV) in monkey and human cell cultures. We established that JUNV induces a biphasic activation of ERK and we proved that a specific inhibitor of the ERK pathway, U...
