Abstract

Studying the immune response against infection with hepatitis viruses is hampered by the lack of suitable preclinical model systems. A recent publication in Science identifies the cytosolic adapter molecule MAVS as being responsible for species restriction of infection with hepatitis A virus as well as linking cytosolic immune sensing in infected hepatocytes with innate effector functions and protective adaptive immunity.
