Unravelling the convoluted biological roles of Type I interferons (IFN-Is) in infection and immunity: a way forward for therapeutics and vaccine design
It has been well-established that type I interferons (IFN-Is) have pleiotropic effects and play an early central role in the control of many acute viral infections. However, their pleiotropic effects are not always beneficial to the host and in fact several reports suggest that the induction of IFN-...
