Hi
UniProtKB have a keyword 'Interferon induction' which they assign to
proteins that are induced by interferon. They are asking if they can map
this to the GO term 'immune response'.
Suggestions? Its a bit of a strange kw.
Here is the DEFINITION:
ID Interferon induction.
AC KW-0402
DE Protein induced by interferon(s). Interferons are a class of cytokines
DE which mediate, by binding to specific cell-surface receptors, a broad
DE range of activities such as resistance to viral infection, modulation
DE of the immune response and regulation of proliferation of normal and
DE malignant cells.
SY IFN induction.
and here are the proteins with that annotation:
