Innate immune responses are essential in the control of flavivirus infection. Here, the authors provide evidence that the unfolded protein response and the pattern recognition receptor pathways synergize to orchestrate innate antiviral responses and cell intrinsic inhibition of viral replication, a process mediated by IRF3.
