Abstract excerpt
Type I interferon (IFN) production by the proper activation of nucleic acid sensors is essential for hosts to eliminate invading viruses. Among these sensors, RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) are well-known viral RNA sensors in the cytoplasm that recognize the nonself signatures of viral RNAs to trigger IFN responses. Recent accumulating evidence has clarified that some specific and atypical self-RNAs also cause...
