Interferon-λs: the modulators of antivirus, antitumor, and immune responses

Li, Mingcai, Liu, Xiaojin, Zhou, Yanchun, Su, Shao Bo·2009·Journal of Leukocyte Biology

Abstract

Recent findings concerning the biology of IFN-λs and their pathophysiological roles in viral infection, cancer, and immune responses of the innate and adaptive arms are summarized. IFN-λs, including IFN-λ1, IFN-λ2, and IFN-λ3, also known as IL-29, IL-28A, or IL-28B, are a newly described group of cytokines distantly related to the type I IFNs and IL-10 family members. The IFN-λR complex consists of a unique ligand-binding chain, IFN-λR1 (also designated IL-28Rα), and an accessory chain, IL-10R2, which is shared with receptors for IL-10-related cytokines. IFN-λs signal through the IFN-λR and activate pathways of JAK-STATs and MAPKs to induce antiviral, antiproliferative, antitumor, and immune responses. In this review, we summarize recent findings about the biology of IFN-λs and their pathophysiological roles in viral infection, cancer, and immune responses of the innate and adaptive arms.

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.
