Different cellular receptors such as TLR3 (Toll Like Receptor 3) and RIG-1 (Retinoic Acid Inducible Gene 1) -closely related to autophagy activation in mammalian granulocyte and macrophage models -have been implicated in innate immunity response to RNA virus infections -e.g. Coronavirus, Measles, Hepatitis viruses, and Influenza virus [10] . These clinical observations raise the question of what the sensitivity of patients with sarcoidosis to respiratory viral disease is, such as that induced from SARS-CoV2 infection (COVID-19)presently being explored in several international projects [6] . ./cache/cord-320063-n9qzbnup.txt ./txt/cord-320063-n9qzbnup.txt
