Abstract excerpt
MDA5 (melanoma-differentiation-associated gene 5), a member of the RLR (retinoic acid-inducible gene I-like receptor) family, plays a pivotal role in innate immunity against viral infection. In the present study, the organization of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) MDA5 (CiMDA5) gene sequence was elucidated and promoter activity of its 5'-flanking region was detected. In addition, single nucleotide...
