Chicken cGAS Senses Fowlpox Virus Infection and Regulates Macrophage Effector Functions
1 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
The anti-viral immune response is dependent on the ability of infected cells to sense foreign nucleic acids. In multiple species, the pattern recognition receptor (PRR) cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) senses viral DNA as an essential component of the innate response. cGAS initiates a range of signaling outputs that are dependent on generation of the second messenger cGAMP that binds to the adaptor protein...
