Abstract: Viral response The innate immune response, a vital defence against viral infections, is initiated when viral products induce type I interferon responses via the activation of Toll-like receptors and various cytoplasmic receptors. Two groups this week report on the properties of a molecule called TRAF3. Its function in immune cells was not previously known, but it is now shown to act as a convergence point for induction of the antiviral response by multiple viral recognition pathways.
