Adjuvant activity of type I interferons
bchm, 2008 AbstractType I interferons (IFNs) produced primarily by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) as part of the innate immune response to infectious agents induce the maturation of myeloid DCs and enhance antigen presentation. Type I IFNs also enhance apoptosis of virus-infected cells, stimulate cross priming and enhanced presentation of viral peptides ...

Opposing roles for interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF-3) and type I interferon signaling during plague. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 Type I interferons (IFN-I) broadly control innate immunity and are typically transcriptionally induced by Interferon Regulatory Factors (IRFs) following stimulation of pattern recognition receptors within the cytosol of host cells.

Analysis of tick-borne encephalitis virus-induced host responses in human cells of neuronal origin and interferon-mediated protection [PDF]
, 2017 Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a member of the genus Flavivirus. It can cause serious infections in humans that may result in encephalitis/meningoencephalitis. Although several studies have described the involvement of specific genes in the host

Type I interferon responsive microglia shape cortical development and behavior
Cell, 2021 Microglia are brain resident phagocytes that can engulf synaptic components and extracellular matrix as well as whole neurons. However, whether there are unique molecular mechanisms that regulate these distinct phagocytic states is unknown.

The type I interferon signature in leukocyte subsets from peripheral blood of patients with early arthritis: a major contribution by granulocytes [PDF]
, 2016 The type I interferon (IFN) signature in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has shown clinical relevance in relation to disease onset and therapeutic response. Identification of the cell type(s) contributing to this IFN signature could provide insight into the ...

Truncation of the NS1 protein converts a low pathogenic avian influenza virus into a strong interferon inducer in duck cells [PDF]
, 2010 The NS1 protein of influenza A viruses is known as a nonessential virulence factor inhibiting type I interferon (IFN) production in mammals and in chicken cells. Whether NS1 inhibits the induction of type I IFNs in duck cells is currently unknown.

The role of type I interferon in the treatment of COVID‐19
Journal of Medical Virology, 2021 Although significant research has been done to find effective drugs against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), no definite effective drug exists.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

ULK1 in type I interferon response
Oncotarget, 2015 Type I interferon (IFN) signaling leads to transcription and translation of key IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), whose protein products exhibit anti-tumorigenic, anti-viral, and immunomodulatory functions [1–3]. These responses are triggered by the interaction of type I IFNs (IFNα, IFNβ, IFNω) with a unique cell surface receptor composed by two subunits ...

Effects of type I interferons in malaria [PDF]
Immunology, 2018 SummaryType I interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines with a wide range of biological activities including anti‐viral and immune‐regulatory functions. Here, we focus on the protozoan parasitic disease malaria, and examine the effects of type I IFN‐signalling during Plasmodium infection of humans and experimental mice.
