Abstract excerpt
Type I and III IFNs play diverse roles in bacterial infections, being protective for some but deleterious for others. Using RNA-sequencing transcriptomics we investigated lung gene expression responses to Bordetella pertussis infection in adult mice, revealing that type I and III IFN pathways may play an important role in promoting inflammatory responses. In B. pertussis-infected mice, lung type I/III IFN...
