Old World hantaviruses do not produce detectable amounts of dsRNA in infected cells and the 5′ termini of their genomic RNAs are monophosphorylated
3 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
dsRNA and 5'-triphosphate RNA are considered critical activators of the innate immune response because of their interaction with pattern recognition receptors. It has been reported that no dsRNA is detected in negative-sense RNA virus-infected cells and that Hantaan virus (HTNV) genomic RNA bears a 5' monophosphate group. In this paper we examine the 5' termini of genomic RNAs of and dsRNA production by two major...
