Thus, the survival strategy of BVDV consists of being non-cytopathogenic and producing less dsRNA than its cp counterpart, and expressing the IFN antagonists N pro as the first protein in order to reduce or even avoid IFN production in infected cells and E rns to degrade immunostimulatory viral RNA before they might activate the host's PRRs. Notably, both pestiviral IFN antagonists are not only required to constantly maintain innate immunotolerance during persistent infections, but they also play an important role in acute infections [25] . ./cache/cord-332632-u2ud0vmq.txt ./txt/cord-332632-u2ud0vmq.txt
