A MyD88–JAK1–STAT1 complex directly induces SOCS-1 expression in macrophages infected with Group A Streptococcus
Some pathogens can use host suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS-1), an important negative-feedback molecule, as the main mode of immune evasion. Here we found that group A Streptococcus (GAS) is capable of i...
