Lambda Interferon Inhibits Hepatitis B and C Virus Replication

Abstract

Lambda interferon (IFN-λ) induces an intracellular IFN-α/β-like antiviral response through a receptor complex distinct from the IFN-α/β receptor. We therefore determined the ability of IFN-λ to inhibit hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. IFN-λ inhibits HBV replication in a differentiated murine hepatocyte cell line with kinetics and efficiency similar to IFN-α/β and does not require the expression of IFN-α/β or IFN-γ. Furthermore, IFN-λ blocked the replication of a subgenomic and a full-length genomic HCV replicon in human hepatocyte Huh7 cells. These results suggest the possibility that IFN-λ may be therapeutically useful in the treatment of chronic HBV or HCV infection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
