Alpha/Beta Interferon (IFN-α/β)-Independent Induction of IFN-λ1 (Interleukin-29) in Response to Hantaan Virus Infection
1 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Type III interferons ([IFNs] IFN-lambda and interleukin-28 and -29 [IL-28/29]) are recently recognized cytokines with innate antiviral effects similar to those of type I IFNs (IFN-alpha/beta). Like IFN-alpha/beta, IFN-lambda-expression can be induced by viruses, and it is believed that type I and III IFNs are regulated in the same manner. Hantaviruses are weak IFN-alpha/beta inducers and have surprisingly been...
