An Important Role for Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling Protein in the Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Life Cycle

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has been shown to be recognized by two families of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and NOD-like receptors (NLRs). Here we show that MAVS and RIG-I (retinoic acid-inducible gene 1), an RLR family member, also have a role in suppressing KSHV replication and production. In the context of primary infection, we show that in...
