RNA Interference in Mammals: The Virus Strikes Back

Publication date: 20 June 2017
Source:Immunity, Volume 46, Issue 6
Author(s): Bryan R. Cullen
The importance of RNA interference (RNAi) as a mammalian antiviral defense mechanism has been controversial. Qiu et al. (2017) now present data suggesting that the difficulty of detecting RNAi in virus-infected mammalian cells reflects the expression of highly effective viral suppressors of RNAi.
