IFNs are cytokines that are produced and secreted from virus-infected cells. Autocrine and paracrine engagement by IFNs of the type I IFN receptor initiates tissue-wide and systemic signaling through the cellular Jak-STAT pathway to induce the transcription of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) (Figure 1A). ISG products confer a variety of functions, including direct antiviral activity, immunomodulatory function, and metabolic control to limit virus infection and promote the adaptive immune resoonse.展开更多
