Summary
Argonaute proteins and the mammalian antiviral response. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2006, RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural process that plants use to attack viruses. Humans possess all of the tools for RNAi, but whether it is used for antiviral defense is unknown. This project aims to uncover this immune process which will open new avenues to treat virus infections, from influenza to HIV.
