Abstract
RIG-I-like receptors detect cytosolic viral RNA and activate an antiviral innate immune response. A new study employs the one STrEP-purification technique and next generation sequencing to characterize physiological ligands in an infected cell. The view of all three RLRs bound to viral RNAs shows specialization, collaboration and new binding sites.Keywords: LGP2; MDA5; RIG-I; RNA; affinity purification; innate immune system; next generation sequencing
