The innate immune system senses viral infection by recognizing a variety of viral
components (including double-stranded (ds)RNA) and triggers antiviral responses 1 , 2 . The …

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in antiviral response by recognizing viral

examined whether EPCs could be isolated from umbilical cord blood, a rich source for …

The p53 gene is frequently inactivated in human cancers. Here we have isolated a p53-inducible
gene, p53R2, by using differential display to examine messenger RNAs in a cancer-…
