Lambda interferon inhibits hepatitis B and C virus replication

MD Robek, BS Boyd, FV Chisari - Journal of virology, 2005 - Am Soc Microbiol
Lambda interferon (IFN-λ) induces an intracellular IFN-α/β-like antiviral response through a
receptor complex distinct from the IFN-α/β receptor. We therefore determined the ability of …
