Viral proteins targeting host protein kinase R to evade an innate immune response: a mini review

Abstract excerpt

The innate immune system offers a first line of defense by neutralizing foreign pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. These pathogens express molecules (RNA and proteins) that have discrete structures, known as the pathogen-associated molecular patterns that are recognized by a highly specialized class of host proteins called pattern recognition receptors to facilitate the host's immune response against...
