Type III Interferons in Antiviral Defenses at Barrier Surfaces [PDF]
Barrier surfaces such as the epithelium lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts, the endothelium comprising the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and placental trophoblasts provide key physical and immunological protection against viruses. These barriers utilize nonredundant mechanisms to suppress viral infections including the production of ...

Astrocyte Control of Zika Infection Is Independent of Interferon Type I and Type III Expression
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a pathogenic neurotropic virus that infects the central nervous system (CNS) and results in various neurological complications. Astrocytes are the dominant CNS cell producer of the antiviral cytokine IFN-β, however little is known ...

Antiviral Type I and Type III Interferon Responses in the Central Nervous System
The central nervous system (CNS) harbors highly differentiated cells, such as neurons that are essential to coordinate the functions of complex organisms. This organ is partly protected by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) from toxic substances and pathogens

Background Interferon-alpha (IFNα) is a first-line treatment option for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, but the severe systemic side-effects limited its clinical application. Interferon-lambda (IFNλ) with comparable antiviral activity and less

Much of the morbidity and mortality associated with influenza virus respiratory infection is due to bacterial coinfection with pathogens that colonize the upper respiratory tract such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and ...

Novel Nonviral Bioassays for Mouse Type I and Type III Interferon [PDF]
We used embryo fibroblasts from Mx2-Luc transgenic mice that express Firefly luciferase under control of the interferon (IFN)-regulated mouse Mx2 promoter to develop simple nonviral bioassays for type I and type III IFN. Since type III IFN is acid-labile, Mx2-Luc fibroblasts detected the presence of type I IFN in acid-treated biological samples with ...
