More detailed introduction
There are three human RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) which are cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system. They detect non-self cytosolic double-stranded RNA species from various sources and are essential for inducing production of the type I interferon, IFNβ, and other anti-pathogenic effectors [1-2].
