Interferon ε restricts Zika virus infection in the female reproductive tract

2023-04-07

Abstract excerpt

Interferon ε (IFNε) is a unique type I IFN that has been implicated in host defense against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Zika virus (ZIKV), an emerging pathogen, can infect the female reproductive tract (FRT) and cause devastating diseases, particularly in pregnant women. How IFNε contributes to protection against ZIKV infection in vivo is unknown. Here, we show that IFNε plays a critical role in host...
