Differential induction of interferon stimulated genes between type I and type III interferons is independent of interferon receptor abundance.
It is currently believed that type I and III interferons (IFNs) have redundant functions. However, the preferential distribution of type III IFN receptor on epithelial cells suggests functional differences at epithelial surfaces. Here, using human intestinal epithelial cells we could show that altho...
