Type III interferon primes pDCs for TLR7 activation and antagonizes immune suppression mediated by TGF-β and PGE2. [PDF]
Conventional dendritic cell and plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) subsets have specialized functions that can be modulated by the tumor microenvironment, and produce different interferons that are central to antitumor immune responses. While the function

Type III interferon inhibits bladder cancer progression by reprogramming macrophage-mediated phagocytosis and orchestrating effective immune responses. [PDF]
Background Interferons (IFNs) are essential for activating an effective immune response and play a central role in immunotherapy-mediated immune cell reactivation for tumor regression.

Enterovirus 71 Antagonizes Antiviral Effects of Type III Interferon and Evades the Clearance of Intestinal Intraepithelial Lymphocytes. [PDF]
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the major pathogen causing severe neurological complications and hand, foot, and mouth disease. The intestinal mucosal immune system has a complete immune response and immune regulation mechanism, consisting of densely arranged ...

Restoration of dendritic cell homeostasis and Type I/Type III interferon levels in convalescent COVID-19 individuals. [PDF]
Background Plasmacytoid and myeloid dendritic cells play a vital role in the protection against viral infections. In COVID-19, there is an impairment of dendritic cell (DC) function and interferon secretion which has been correlated with disease severity.

Increased Sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 to Type III Interferon in Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells. [PDF]
SARS-CoV-2 infection is not restricted to the respiratory tract and a large number of COVID-19 patients experience gastrointestinal distress. Interferons are key molecules produced by the cell to combat virus infection.

Context‐specific anti‐inflammatory roles of type III interferon signaling in the lung in nonviral injuries [PDF]
Type III interferons (λ1, λ2, and λ3) are potent antiviral cytokines in the lung. However, their roles in nonviral lung injuries are less well understood. This study investigates the activation of type III interferon signaling in three distinct models of

The intestinal regionalization of acute norovirus infection is regulated by the microbiota via bile acid-mediated priming of type III interferon. [PDF]
Evidence has accumulated to demonstrate that the intestinal microbiota enhances mammalian enteric virus infections1. For example, we and others previously reported that commensal bacteria stimulate acute and persistent murine norovirus infections2–4 ...

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Nucleocapsid Protein Suppresses Type I and Type III Interferon Induction by Targeting RIG-I Signaling. [PDF]
MERS-CoV causes death of about 35% of patients. Published studies showed that some coronaviruses are capable of suppressing interferon (IFN) expression in the early phase of infection and MERS-CoV proteins can modulate host immune response. In this study,
