Steroid Hormone Synthesis by Vaccinia Virus Suppresses the Inflammatory Response to Infection

The 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) isoenzymes play a key role in cellular steroid hormone synthesis. Vaccinia virus (VV) also synthesizes steroid hormones with a 3β-HSD enzyme (v3β-HSD) encoded by gene A44L. Here we examined the effects of v3β-HSD in VV disease using wild-type (vA44L), del...
