Abstract excerpt
Type I interferons (IFNs) elicit antiviral, antiproliferative and immunmodulatory responses by binding to a shared cell surface receptor comprising the transmembrane proteins ifnar1 and ifnar2. Activation of differential response patterns by IFNs has been observed, suggesting that members of the family play different roles in innate immunity. The molecular basis for differential signaling has not been identified...
