abstract：:In general, viral infection is supposed to induce stress responses in the host cell. However, very few detailed observations about virus-induced stress responses have been reported. Here we investigated specific stress responses in Vero cells infected with Sindbis virus (SV), a single-stranded RNA virus, acute infecti...
