Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bats (order Chiroptera ) are a major reservoir for emerging and re-emerging zoonotic viruses. Their tolerance towards highly pathogenic human viruses led to the hypothesis that bats may possess an especially active antiviral interferon (IFN) system. Here, we cloned and functionally characterized the virus RNA sensor, Retinoic Acid-Inducible Gene-I (RIG-I), from the “microbat” Myotis daubentoni...
