Research Note: Interactions among the MDA5, MAVS, and STING signaling pathways in chicken cells.

ABSTRACT: Innate immunity, as an organism's first line of defense, plays a crucial role in rapidly responding to and protecting the body against invading pathogens. As a cytosolic RNA sensor for viral infections, including infections caused by influenza virus, the innate immune system in chickens has 2 major pathogen-recognition receptors (PRRs): Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) and melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5). The signaling pathways activated by PRRs are complex, systemic processes that underlie the response to foreign molecules. In this study, we investigated the interactions among MDA5, mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS), and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling in chicken cells. To exclude the effects of TLR3, we transfected the clustered regularly i
