Fundamental properties of the mammalian innate immune system revealed by multispecies comparison of type I interferon responses.
The host innate immune response mediated by type I interferon (IFN) and the resulting up-regulation of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) provide an immediate barrier to virus infection. Studies of the type I 'interferome' have mainly been carried out at a single species level,...
