Abstract excerpt
Innate immunity plays an important role in measles virus (MV) infection. MV-derived double-stranded RNA is recognized by toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), retinoic acid-inducible protein I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5). We investigated whether genes encoding these molecules contributed to the development of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) in Japanese individuals. Four single...
