Yishai Shimoni, PhD
Columbia University Medical Center
When monocyte-derived human dendritic cells (DCs) are infected by Newcastle disease virus, the virus is known to be detected by RIG-I proteins, which induces interferon production. Interferon activates a host of genes, including the gene coding RIG-I. Sin
