Recent research has focused attention on the importance of
intrinsic antiviral immunity, i.e. immunity mediated by factors
that are constitutively expressed in many cells. In this volume,
leading experts provide a comprehensive overview of this relatively
new and rapidly evolving field. They cover intrinsic proteinaceous
antiviral immune effectors, such as the APOBEC3 and TRIM protein
families as well as Tetherin and SAMHD1, which were initially
discovered by researchers studying HIV-1. Furthermore, the role of
RNA interference in antiviral defense in plants and invertebrates,
as well as the interplay between microRNAs and viruses in mammalian
cells, are analysed. One chapter discusses how intrinsic immunity
and viral countermeasures to intrinsic immune effectors drive both
pathogen and host evolution, and finally the emerging evidence that
DNA damage response proteins restrict infection by DNA viruses is
highlighted.
