Interleukin-28B dampens airway inflammation through up-regulation of natural killer cell-derived IFN-γ

Abstract Interleukin-28A (IL-28A) modulates CD11c+ dendritic cell (DC) function and promotes type 1T helper (Th1) differentiation, thus suppressing allergic airway diseases. However, the function of the IL-28A isoform IL-28B in these diseases remains largely unknown. In this study, we revealed a nov...
