Inosine-containing mRNA induces an innate immune response and is translated with lower efficiency

Inosine is a nucleoside formed by deamination of adenosine by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR). ADAR editing activity is known to play a key role in modulating the host cell’s immune response to RNA. Here, we specifically study the effect of the presence of inosine in RNA by generating an i...
