摘要
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has long been recognized as a central component of the interferon (IFN) system. It was originally characterized as a key mediator of IFN induction in response to virus infection. Subsequently, it was identified as a prime activator of the antiviral response. In recent years the discovery of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway in mammals has renewed interest in dsRNA-mediated cellular responses. This has coincided with the identification of key components of the IFN induction pathway. Here, we present an overview of the current knowledge of dsRNA-mediated pathways in mammalian cells and introduce a link between these pathways and application of RNAi. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
