TLR7 neo-functionalizes to sense dsRNA and trigger antiviral and antibacterial immunity in non-tetrapod vertebrates

Summary: TLR7 plays a crucial role in sensing viral ssRNA and initiating immune responses. Piscine TLR7 also responds to dsRNA challenge. dsRNA exists in almost all the viruses at specific stages. However, the mechanism on sensing dsRNA by TLR7 remains unknown. In the present study, we employed Cten...
