Why Was the 1918 Influenza So Deadly?
... • The NS1 protein from the 1918 virus appears to be an interferon inhibitor (Garcia-Sastre et al., 1998). Interferons are chemicals released by infected cells to warn neighbors of an impending viral infection. If NS1 is capable of antagonizing the interferon response, it would allow the influenza vi ...
