Abstract excerpt
Detecting viral RNA by the ubiquitously expressed cytosolic receptor retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is critical for antiviral immune responses, including type I interferon (IFN-I) and chemokine induction. RIG-I has evolved to sensitively recognize viral RNA but tolerate self-RNA. RIG-I mutations causing self-tolerance loss induce IFN-I and chemokines in patients, initiating autoinflammation. We observed...
