[virus-associated molecular pattern]
This term has been used to refer to various viral replication intermediates such as double-stranded and single stranded RNA but also for certain viral capsid proteins that function as molecular patterns and initiate signaling responses of the innate immune system when they are recognized by pattern recognition receptors. See also: PAMPs [pathogen-associated molecular patterns].
