Investigating the mechanisms by which influenza A viruses induce and subsequently dampen the Type I interferon response
- Abstract:
-
The activation of antiviral innate immune responses by influenza A viruses plays a keys role in influenza virus infections. The recognition of viral RNA by the pattern recognition receptor RIG-I leads to the induction of the expression of Type I Interferons, which induce an antiviral state, and to the activation of the inflammasome, which leads to inflammation. This thesis focuses on investigating both the mechanisms by which RIG-I is activated by influenza A viruses and the mechanisms...
