Identification of a small molecule that primes the type I interferon response to cytosolic DNA

Abstract The type I interferon response plays a pivotal role in host defense against infectious agents and tumors, and promising therapeutic approaches rely on small molecules designed to boost this system. To identify such compounds, we developed a high-throughput screening assay based on HEK-293 c...
