This study reinstates RIG-I and RNF135 in chickens to investigate their role in avian influenza response, finding that their expression exacerbates inflammation and mortality without affecting viral replication.

This study shows that DNA-PK is a conserved DNA sensor in chickens that poxviruses evade by targeting with OPG020/OPG031 proteins, highlighting its role in innate immunity beyond mammals.

This study investigates how chicken TLR21 triggers type I interferon production in macrophages, revealing conserved signaling pathways with mammalian TLR9.
