Abstract
Immune control of retroviruses is notoriously difficult, a fundamental problem that has been most clinically consequential with the HIV-1 pandemic. As humans expand further into previously uninhabited areas, the likelihood of new zoonotic retroviral exposures increases. The role of the innate immune system, including ISGs, in controlling retroviral infections is currently an area of intensive study. This work provides evidence that a primed innate immune system is an effective defense against retroviral pathogenesis, resulting in reduced viral replication and burden of disease outcomes. RdRP mice also had considerably lower Friend retrovirus (FV) viremia. The results could have implications for harnessing ISG responses to reduce transmission or control pathogenesis of human retroviral pathogens.
