Abstract
In this issue of Immunity, Funabiki et al. (2014) have identified in mice a mutation of the IFIH1 gene, encoding the viral receptor MDA5 that causes constitutive IFN production and fatal autoimmune disease. The authors show that the autoimmune disease-associated variant of human MDA5 is permanently switched on.Entities:
