Toll-like Receptor 3 Activation Decreases Porcine Arterivirus Infection
1 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an RNA virus that initiates infection in pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs), elicits weak immune responses, and establishes a persistent infection. To understand the role of dsRNA intermediates in eliciting host immunity, we sought to determine if toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3), a well-known dsRNA sensor, is involved in the regulation of PRRSV...
