Enhanced TLR7-dependent production of type I interferon by pDCs underlies pandemic chilblains
1 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Outbreaks of chilblains were reported during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the essential role of type I interferon (I-IFN) in protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and the association of chilblains with inherited type I interferonopathies, we hypothesized that excessive I-IFN responses to SARS-CoV-2 might underlie the occurrence of chilblains in this context. We identified a transient I-IFN signature in chilblain...
