Complete sequence analysis of the gene revealed an open reading frame (ORF) of 1440 bps (479 amino acids excluding stop codon) with high sequence identity (48% and 67%) with the human and duck IFIT5 proteins, respectively ( Supplementary Fig. 1B) . The levels of chIFN-β gene induction was proportional to the NDV replication (Fig. 2D) , therefore, it can be inferred that the virus-induced expression of chicken IFIT5 is IFN-dependent and that chIFIT5 is an early-ISG with capacity to modulate initial steps of virus life cycle. To compare anti-viral effects of chIFIT5 (only IFIT gene identified in chickens so far) with its orthologous and homologous human proteins, huIFIT1, huIFIT2, huIFIT3 and huIFIT5 were expressed in chicken cells and antiviral affect was monitored (Fig. 5A ). ./cache/cord-315483-l6dm82pp.txt ./txt/cord-315483-l6dm82pp.txt
