Abstract:
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) establishes persistent latent infections by effectively evading the host's antiviral innate immune response. PRV has developed sophisticated strategies to bypass immune surveillance through coevolution with its host. Currently, no effective vaccine exists to prevent or treat infections caused by emerging PRV variants, and the interactions between PRV and the host's innate immune defenses remain incompletely understood. Nevertheless, ongoing research is uncovering insights that may lead to novel treatments and preventive approaches for herpesvirus-related diseases. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding how PRV disrupts key adaptors in immune signaling pathways to evade antiviral immunity. Additionally, we explored the intrinsic cellular defenses that play crucial roles in combating viral invasion. A deeper understanding of the immune evasion strategies of PRV could inform the development of new therapeutic targets and vaccines.

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...
