Molecular characterization and immune functional analysis of IRF2 in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.): Different regulatory role in the IFN and NF-κB signalling pathway

Interferon regulatory factor 2 (IRF2) is an important transcription factor, which can regulate the IFN response and plays a role in antiviral innate immunity in teleost. In the present study, the full-length cDNA sequence of IRF2 (CcIRF2) was characterized in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.).
