Induction of antiviral immunity by double-stranded RNA in a marine invertebrate.
Javier Robalino,Craig L. Browdy,Sarah Prior,Adrienne Metz,Pamela G. Parnell,Paul S. Gross,Gregory W. Warr +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that an invertebrate immune system, like its vertebrate counterparts, can recognize dsRNA as a virus-associated molecular pattern, resulting in the activation of an innate antiviral response.
