Age-dependent susceptibility to reovirus encephalitis in mice is influenced by maturation of the type-I interferon response
Infants and young children are particularly susceptible to viral encephalitis; however, the mechanisms are unknown. We determined the age-dependent contribution of innate and adaptive immune functions to reovi...

Reovirus
Mammalian orthoreoviruses are nonenveloped dsRNA viruses that infect most mammals including humans and mice. Following oral inoculation of newborn mice, reovirus disseminates to the CNS and produces a nonletha...

Antiviral immunity via RIG-I-mediated recognition of RNA bearing 5′-diphosphates
The innate immune receptor RIG-I is shown to sense 5′-diphosphate RNAs as found in some viral genomes in addition to its well characterized activation by RNAs bearing 5′-triphosphate moieties.
