Common IFN lambda 3 (IFNL3) variants have been demonstrated to affect spontaneous and treatment-induced clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The functional basis of these genetic variants has yet to be determined. Data examining the effect of IFNL3, specifically, in innate immune cells is lacking. Here, we determined the expression of IFNL3 and its receptor IFNLR1 in blood immune cell subsets and in...
