Abstract

Background: Host innate immunity is against virus infection and replication.

Results: Toll-like receptor 3 activation leads to enhanced expression of a key Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) protein.

Conclusion: KSHV uses host Toll-like receptor pathway to augment its critical gene expression. Significance: A virus may usurp host innate immunity for its own benefits.
