Abstract excerpt
An integral aspect of innate immunity is the ability to detect foreign molecules of viral origin to initiate antiviral signaling via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). One such receptor is the RNA helicase retinoic acid inducible gene 1 (RIG-I), which detects and is activated by 5'triphosphate uncapped double stranded RNA (dsRNA) as well as the cytoplasmic viral mimic dsRNA polyI:C. Once activated, RIG-I's...
