Activation of type III interferon genes by pathogenic bacteria in infected epithelial cells and mouse placenta.

Bacterial infections trigger the expression of type I and II interferon genes but little is known about their effect on type III interferon (IFN-λ) genes, whose products play important roles in epithelial innate immunity against viruses. Here, we studied the expression of IFN-λ genes in cultured hum...
