RIG-I-Like-Receptors Induce Unique and Complimentary Transcriptional Programs Following West Nile Virus Infection Leading to Macrophage Polarization and Protection
The study shows that RLRs drive distinct immune gene activation and polarization of the immune response. In our data, the RLR-dependent, WNV-induced immune response polarization overshadows the classical drivers of viral innate immune responses, interferon I (IFN) and IFN-stimulated genes, thus underscoring the importance of innate immune activation for channeling the adaptive immune system into specific effector pathways Overall design: We conducted genome-wide RNAseq and bioinformatics analysis of WNV infection in bone marrow derived macrophages from the RLR-deficient mice.
