Differential regulation of IFNα, IFNβ and IFNε gene expression in human cervical epithelial cells
Abstract Interferonε (IFNε) is a unique type I IFN that has distinct functions from IFNα/β. IFNε is constitutively expressed at mucosal tissues, including the female genital mucosa, and is reported to be modulated by estrogen and seminal plasma. However, its regulation by cytokines, including TNFα,...
