Interferon lambda: opportunities, risks, and uncertainties in the fight against HCV
- Abstract:
-
Innate immunity is key to the fight against the daily onslaught from viruses that our bodies are subjected to. Essential to this response are the interferons (IFNs) that prime our cells to block viral pathogens. Recent evidence suggests that theType III (l) IFNs are intimately associated with the immune response to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Genome-wide association studies have identified polymorphisms within the IFN-l gene locus that correlate with response to IFNa-based antiviral th...
