Abstract:
The innate immune response against viral infection is mainly relies on type I interferon, the production of which is mediated by TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1). It is revealed that the downstream TBK1 is activated by viral nucleic acid sensors RIG-I, cGAS and TLR3. The activity of TBK1 is complexly and precisely regulated by different type of protein modifications, including phosphorylation, ubiquitination and Sumolylation. This article focuses on the role of TBK1 in anti-viral innate immunity and the regulatory mechanism for the TBK1 activation.

Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens
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...
