Interleukin-1β Signaling in Dendritic Cells Induces Antiviral Interferon Responses
ABSTRACT Induction of interferon beta (IFN-β), IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), and inflammatory responses is critical for control of viral infection. We recently identified an essential linkage of stimulation of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and induction of ISGs that function as hos...
