Characterization of the bovine type I IFN locus: rearrangements, expansions, and novel subfamilies
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Type I interferons (IFN) have major roles in the innate immune response to viruses, a function that is believed to have led to expansion in the number and complexity of their genes, although these genes have remained confined to...
