These results together with the antiviral effect of poly I:C (Figure 3 ) suggested that the protective role of TLR3 against coronavirus infection in J774A.1 macrophages may be mediated by type I IFN. We hypothesized that the differential effect of TLR ligands on MHV production is due to their variable ability to induce type I IFN crucial for triggering an "antiviral state" and protecting cells from virus infection [26, 38] . In the present study prestimulation of J774A.1 macrophages with poly I:C, a potent type I IFN inducer, resulted in a strong IFN-β response that triggered antiviral immunity and protected macrophages from MHV infection before and after virus adsorption. ./cache/cord-334134-fhie2m3u.txt ./txt/cord-334134-fhie2m3u.txt
