Endogenous, or therapeutically induced, type I interferon responses differentially modulate Th1/Th17‐mediated autoimmunity in the CNS
20 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
Different viruses trigger pattern recognition receptor systems, such as Toll-like receptors or cytosolic RIG-I like helicases (RLH), and thus induce early type I interferon (IFN-I) responses. Such responses may confer protection until adaptive immunity is activated to an extent that the pathogen can be eradicated. Interestingly, the same innate immune mechanisms that are relevant for early pathogen defense have a...
