Small RNA response to infection of the insect-specific Kamiti river virus in an Aedes albopictus cell line

The RNAi-mediated immunity is regarded as the main antiviral immune response in mosquitoes, therefore small RNAs isolated from KRV-infected U4.4 cells during the acute infection phase were sequenced and analyzed.

RNA干扰（RNAi）介导的免疫被认为是蚊虫体内最主要的抗病毒免疫应答，因此研究人员对急性感染阶段内KRV感染的U4.4细胞中分离得到的小分子RNA进行了测序与分析。
