Besides its pandemic potential, seasonal influenza infection is associated with an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 deaths worldwide every year. Part of this virulence of influenza virus can be attributed to its ability to evade the host innate immune response. Here, we discuss the possibility of using a recently described mechanism of boosting the innate immunity by oligoadenylate synthetase-like protein, to combat influenza infections.
除了具有大流行的可能性外,季节性流感感染每年在全球估计导致25万至50万人死亡。流感病毒的这种毒力部分可归因于其逃避宿主先天免疫反应的能力。在此,我们讨论利用一种最近描述的由寡腺苷酸合成酶样蛋白增强先天免疫的机制来对抗流感感染的可能性。
