Interferon lambda restricts herpes simplex virus skin disease by suppressing neutrophil-mediated pathology [PDF]

open access: yesmBio
Type III interferons (IFN-λ) are antiviral and immunomodulatory cytokines that have been best characterized in respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, but the effects of IFN-λ against skin infections have not been extensively investigated. We sought

Different Mechanisms Are Utilized by Coronavirus Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus To Regulate Interferon Lambda 1 and Interferon Lambda 3 Production. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Virol, 2022
Coronaviruses cause infectious diseases in various mammals and birds and exhibit an epithelial cell tropism in enteric and respiratory tracts. It is critical to explore how coronavirus infections modulate IFN-λ, a key innate cytokine against mucosal viral infection.

Interferon lambda 4 is a gut antimicrobial protein. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A
To withstand complex microbial challenges, the mammalian gut largely depends on the secretion of diverse antimicrobial proteins. Type III interferons (IFNλs) are ordinarily considered inducible antiviral cytokines involved in intestinal immunity. Unlike other IFNλs, we found that newly identified IFNλ4 is an intestinal antibacterial protein.

Investigation of the antiviral activity of the recombinant human interferon lambda 1 in human conjunctiva cell culture

open access: yesСибирский научный медицинский журнал, 2021
The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of recombinant human interferon lambda 1 (IFN-λ1) against human adenovirus serotype 5 in a culture of human conjunctival cells Chang conjunctiva clone 1-5c-4. Material and methods.

Interferon lambda in inflammation and autoimmune rheumatic diseases. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Rev Rheumatol, 2021
Interferons are potent antiviral cytokines that modulate immunity in response to infection or other danger signals. In addition to their antiviral functions, type I interferons (IFNα and IFNβ) are important in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.

Interferon lambdas: the next cytokine storm [PDF]

open access: yesGut, 2011
For two decades the scientific community has sought to understand why some people clear hepatitis C virus (HCV) and others do not. Recently, several large genome-wide association studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to interferon lambda 3 (IFNλ3) that are associated with the spontaneous resolution and successful ...

Functional Characterization of Canine Interferon-Lambda [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, 2014
In this study, we provide the first comprehensive annotation of canine interferon-λ (CaIFN-λ, type III IFN). Phylogenetic analysis based on genomic sequences indicated that CaIFN-λ is located in the same branch with Swine IFN-λ1 (SwIFN-λ), Bat IFN-λ1 (BaIFN-λ), and human IFN-λ1 (HuIFN-λ1). CaIFN-λ was cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified
