Fig. 9. Lipid droplets are induced to enhance an effective interferon response.

Fig. 9

Here we demonstrate that the host upregulates LDs following pathogen detection in two waves. The first wave is EGFR dependent which is independent of interferon production, and the second wave is induced via interferon production. During dsDNA stimulation, there is no second wave, and this is hypothesised to be due to a negative regulator of LD accumulation produced by cells during this response.
