Abstract:
Type I interferons are a major and essential component of the mammalian antiviral response. While many cell types produce type I interferons following viral infection, how cells detect the virus has remained a mystery for many years. Recently, multiple genome-encoded viral recognition receptors have been identified. Interestingly, all of the major viral recognition pathways characterized thus far require TRAF3 to initiate type I interferon production. In this review, we comment on the mechanistic and biological implications for the new role of TRAF3 in innate antiviral immunity.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
