Innate Immune Sensing of Cytosolic DNA

Pursuing a cytosolic DNA sensor
the start of research: observation (need to be explained)
为什么会发生这样的现象?科学的思维方式
 
免疫:
  1. 识别异己:TLR识别外源,例如TLR4识别LPS
  1. 信号转导signal transduction:NF-kappaB, IRF3, IRF7
 
TLP-independent sensing of nucleic acids
  • DNA: sensor? 后续信号传递需要ER上的STING蛋白
  • RNA: bind to RIG-I, 后续信号传递需要MITO上的MAVS蛋白
 
STING: STimulator of INterferon Genes. MITA; ERIS; MPYS
