Abstract
The two classes of interferons, type I (IFNalpha, IFNbeta, IFNomega, and IFNtau) and type II (IFNgamma) are pleiotropic cytokines that exhibit antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory effects on their target cells. This article summarizes the advances made in elucidating the molecular events that mediate the biological responses to type I interferons.Entities:
