Immune Evasion of Enteroviruses Under Innate Immune Monitoring

Front Microbiol. 2018 Aug 14:9:1866. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.01866. eCollection 2018.

Abstract

As a major component of immunological defense against a great variety of pathogens, innate immunity is capable of activating the adaptive immune system. Viruses are a type of pathogen that proliferate parasitically in cells and have multiple strategies to escape from host immune pressure. Here, we review recent studies of the strategies and mechanisms by which enteroviruses evade innate immune monitoring.

Keywords: Picornaviridae; enterovirus; immune evasion; innate immunity; innate lymphoid cells (ILCs).
