Journal ArticleDOI

5'-Triphosphate RNA Is the Ligand for RIG-I

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the 5′-triphosphate end of RNA generated by viral polymerases is responsible for retinoic acid–inducible protein I (RIG-I)–mediated detection of RNA molecules in viruses known to be detected by MDA-5 such as the picornaviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammasomes: current understanding and open questions

TL;DR: Current knowledge of mechanisms leading to the activation of inflammasomes is reviewed and the controversial molecular mechanisms that regulate NLRP3 signaling are focused on and recent advancements in DNA sensing by the inflammaome receptor AIM2 are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Listeria monocytogenes is sensed by the NLRP3 and AIM2 Inflammasome

TL;DR: A role for DNA sensing through the AIM2 inflammasome in the detection of intracellularly replicating bacteria is established in the recognition and containment of various microbial pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selection of molecular structure and delivery of RNA oligonucleotides to activate TLR7 versus TLR8 and to induce high amounts of IL-12p70 in primary human monocytes.

TL;DR: The results uncover the potential of monocytes to function as major producers of IL-12p70, a key Th1 cytokine classically ascribed to myeloid dendritic cells that cannot be induced by CpG oligonucleotides in the human system.
