Abstract excerpt
The TT allele of the dinucleotide variant rs368234815 (TT/ΔG) abolishes the open reading frame (ORF) created by the ancestral ΔG allele of the human interferon lambda 4 (IFNL4) gene, thus preventing the expression of a functional IFN-λ4 protein. While probing the expression of IFN-λ4 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), using a monoclonal antibody that binds to the C-terminus of IFN-λ4,...
