Abstract: The human myxovirus resistance(Mx) protein is a GTPase and a key mediator of the interferon-induced antiviral response against a wide range of viruses, and can inhibit the replication of a wide range of negative-and positive-strand RNA viruses as well as DNA viruses. Here we briefly review the most salient features of Mx genes and protein in the structure and antiviral function, and prospects development of antiviral transgenic animal breeding using this gene.

Key words: Mx gene; antiviral; antiviral mechanism
