A genetic variant controls interferon-β gene expression in human myeloid cells by preventing C/EBP-β binding on a conserved enhancer.
Interferon β (IFN-β) is a cytokine that induces a global antiviral proteome, and regulates the adaptive immune response to infections and tumors. Its effects strongly depend on its level and timing of expression. Therefore, the transcription of its coding gene IFNB1 is strictly controlled. We have p...
