Sensing of HSV-1 by the cGAS–STING pathway in microglia orchestrates antiviral defence in the CNS
The cGAS–STING pathway is an important immune defence pathway against viral infection, including HSV-1. Here the authors use an HSV-1 encephalitis model and show microglia are the main producers of type 1 interferons that induce antiviral activity in neurons and prime the TLR3-interferon pathway in...
