Abstract:
In this review, we provide an overview of the intricate host-virus interactions that have emerged from the study of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We focus on the antiviral mechanisms of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and their modulation of viral entry, replication, and release. We explore the role of a selection ISGs, including BST2, CD74, CH25H, DAXX, IFI6, IFITM1-3, LY6E, NCOA7, PLSCR1, OAS1, RTP4, and ZC3HAV1/ZAP, in restricting SARS-CoV-2 infection and discuss the virus's countermeasures. By synthesizing the latest research on SARS-CoV-2 and host antiviral responses, this review aims to provide a deeper understanding of the antiviral state of the cell under SARS-CoV-2 and other viral infections, offering insights for the development of novel antiviral strategies and therapeutics.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
