These unusual RNAs exhibited distinct properties in infected cells in terms of encapsidation with the viral N protein and subcellular distribution with SG marker proteins and RLRs. Our results suggest that RNA-typedependent mechanisms recognize and accumulate virus-derived, IFN-β-inducible, unusual RNAs into specific compartment to trigger the production of IFN-β, and that SeV may evade detection by the host innate immune system by preventing the production of these RNA species. Since the naked cbDI genomes have been reported readily to form an ideal structure as the RIG-I ligands of 5 -triphosphated, blunt-ended dsRNA (Kolakofsky, 1976) , these results indicated that the major IFN-β-inducing viral RNA species produced in the cells infected with CNT was encapsidated cbDI genomes, whereas those for SeV-4C(-) and NDV were not. ./cache/cord-252485-cxi3cr15.txt ./txt/cord-252485-cxi3cr15.txt
