Lambda Interferon Inhibits Hepatitis B and C Virus Replication
24 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Lambda interferon (IFN-lambda) induces an intracellular IFN-alpha/beta-like antiviral response through a receptor complex distinct from the IFN-alpha/beta receptor. We therefore determined the ability of IFN-lambda to inhibit hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. IFN-lambda inhibits HBV replication in a differentiated murine hepatocyte cell line with kinetics and efficiency similar to...
