RIG-I-Mediated Antiviral Responses to Single-Stranded RNA Bearing 5' Phosphates

TL;DR: It is shown that influenza A virus infection does not generate dsRNA and that RIG-I is activated by viral genomic single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) bearing 5′-phosphates, and suggested that its ability to sense 5'-phosphorylated RNA evolved in the innate immune system as a means of discriminating between self and nonself.
Journal ArticleDOI

Innate Recognition of Viruses

TL;DR: The sensors involved in coupling recognition of viruses to the induction of the type I IFN genes have only recently been uncovered and include endosomal and cytosolic receptors for RNA and DNA and their properties are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

RIG-I detects viral genomic RNA during negative-strand RNA virus infection.

TL;DR: It is shown that RIG-I agonists are exclusively generated by the process of virus replication and correspond to full-length virus genomes, and nongenomic viral transcripts, short replication intermediates, and cleaved self-RNA do not contribute substantially to interferon induction in cells infected with these negative strand RNA viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of MDA5 Requires Higher-Order RNA Structures Generated during Virus Infection

TL;DR: An antibody to dsRNA is used to show that the presence of immunoreactivity in virus-infected cells does indeed correlate with the ability of RNA extracted from these cells to activate MDA5, and suggests that Mda5 activation requires an RNA web rather than simply long molecules of ds RNA.
