Inhibition of Antiviral Innate Immunity by Birnavirus VP3 Protein via Blockage of Viral Double-Stranded RNA Binding to the Host Cytoplasmic RNA Detector MDA5
17 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Chicken MDA5 (chMDA5), the sole known pattern recognition receptor for cytoplasmic viral RNA in chickens, initiates type I interferon (IFN) production. Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) evades host innate immunity, but the mechanism is unclear. We report here that IBDV inhibited antiviral innate immunity via the chMDA5-dependent signaling pathway. IBDV infection did not induce efficient type I...
