A temporal gate for viral enhancers to co-opt Toll-like-receptor transcriptional activation pathways upon acute infection.
Viral engagement with macrophages activates Toll-Like-Receptors (TLRs) and viruses must contend with the ensuing inflammatory responses to successfully complete their replication cycle. To date, known counter-strategies involve the use of viral-encoded proteins that often employ mimicry mechanisms t...
