RIG-I agonist

5’ triphosphate double-stranded RNA (5’ppp-dsRNA) is a synthetic ligand for the retinoic acid-inducible protein I (RIG-I, also known as Ddx58). RIG-I is a cytoplasmic RNA helicase that belongs to the RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) family and triggers an antiviral immune response by the activation of type-I interferons (IFN-α and -β) [1]. RIG-I detects viral RNAs that exhibit an uncapped 5’-di/triphosphate end and a short blunt-ended double-strand portion, two essential features facilitating discrimination from self-RNAs [2-4].
To achieve stimulation of RIG-I, 5’ppp-dsRNA must be delivered into the cytoplasm, for example by using a transfection agent, such as LyoVec™.

Key features of 5'ppp-dsRNA:

• 5'ppp-dsRNA is a specific RIG-I agonist.

• Its biological activity has been verified using our RLR reporter cell lines.

• For your convenience, pre-complexed 5'ppp-dsRNA/ LyoVec™ is also available.
