As part of the innate defense mechanism against invading pathogens, the mammalian immune system is activated by a number of exogenous RNA [10–12] and DNA species [13], resulting in the release of inflammatory cytokines and interferons (IFN) such as IFN-a. Initial studies on the off-target effects of ...
