Mechanism Evasion strategy Viral protein
Interferon signaling dsRNA binding
Influenza virus NS1 [33], VACV E3 (also inhibits DNApol III DNA sensing) [34]
Inhibition of signaling
VACV N1 family [5, 3537], HCV NS3A/4 [38], influenza virus NS1 [33], HCV core proteins inhibit Jak/Stat signaling [39], HCV NS5A inhibits MyD88 [40],
HIV Vif, and Vpr degrade IRF3 [37]
Inhibition of IFN binding VACV soluble IFN alpha/beta receptors [41]

Viral RNA/DNA sensing Inhibitors of RIG-I
HCV NS3A/4 proteolytic cleavage of MAVS [38, 42]
Inhibitors of MDA5, LGP2
Paramyxovirus V proteins [43]
Inhibitors of DDX3
VACV K7 [5]
Inhibitors of the AIM2/NLRP3 Inflammasome
KSHV vNLR [44], myxoma virus M013 [45]
Inhibitors of proteins activated downstream of the AIM2/NLRP3 inflammasome
