Sensing of HSV-1 by the cGAS–STING pathway in microglia orchestrates antiviral defence in the CNS

Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is the most common form of acute viral encephalitis in industrialized countries. Type I interferon (IFN) is important for control of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) in the central nervous system (CNS). Here we show that microglia are the main source of HSV-induced type...
