Although the role of type I interferon (IFN) in the protection against viral infections has been
known and studied for decades, its role in other immunologically relevant scenarios …

Type I interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines specialized to coordinate immunity to
viruses and other intracellular infections. In the past several years, many of the receptors …

The innate immune system plays a crucial role in the rapid recognition and elimination of
invading microbes. Detection of microbes relies on germ‐line encoded pattern recognition …

Production of type I interferon (IFN; IFN-αβ) increases host susceptibility to Listeria
monocytogenes, whereas type II IFN (IFN-γ) activates macrophages to resist infection. We …
