Lineage-specific chromatin poising enforced by ETS-IRF composite elements determines the divergent interferon responses of plasmacytoid dendritic cells and epithelial cells
2026-06-10
Abstract excerpt
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) produce robust type I interferons (IFN-I) within hours of viral sensing, while epithelial cells at mucosal surfaces mount a delayed response dominated by type III interferons (IFN-III). Both cell types express pattern recognition receptors that activate similar downstream transcription factors, yet they produce distinct subsets of IFNs. The mechanisms underlying these difference...
