A tightly regulated IL-22 response maintains immune functions and homeostasis in systemic viral infection

Abstract Interleukin-22 (IL-22) plays an important role in host immunity and tissue homeostasis in infectious and inflammatory diseases. However, the function and regulation of IL-22 in viral infection remain largely unknown. Here, we report that viral infection triggered early IL-22 production from...
