Unique Keratinocyte-Specific Effects of Interferon-γ that Protect Skin from Viruses, Identified Using Transcriptional Profiling
1 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Interferon (IFN)-gamma, is a multifunctional, immunomodulatory cytokine with cell type-specific antiviral activities, particularly important in skin, where it is implicated in many diseases ranging from warts to psoriasis and cancer. Since epidermis is our first line of defence against many viruses, we investigated the molecular processes regulated by IFN-gamma in keratinocytes using DNA microarrays. We...
