Broad-spectrum inhibition of virus infectivity by an RNA agonist of the RIG-I Pathway

The cytosolic antiviral pathway is stimulated during virus infection by interaction between the RIG-I like receptors and viral RNA structures that contain short hairpin dsRNA and 5' triphosphate (5'ppp) terminal. In the present study, RNA-based agonists of RIG-I, derived from the 5' a...
