DESCRIPTION:Hiroki Kato\, Institute for Virus Research\, Kyoto University\
 nRIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) are well-known viral sensors that trigger the
  antiviral interferon (IFN) response by recognizing the non-self signature
 s of viral RNAs. The proper induction of the IFN response is known to play
  a crucial role in protecting against viral infections\, whereas aberrant 
 activation can lead to autoimmune disorders.  I will give a brief introdu
 ction on RLR-mediated antiviral response and mainly talk about the antivir
 al IFN response and autoimmunity\, with a focus on recent studies describi
 ng autoimmunity caused by mutations in RLRs.
