Interferon-λ inhibits immunopathology and boosts T cell–mediated immunity in a mouse model of mucosal viral infection

Interferon lambda (IFN-λ) has emerged as a critical inducer of immune regulation in addition to its mucosal antiviral properties. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern its dual role during viral infections remain unclear. Here, we discovered that mucosal delivery of IFN-λ abrogates the herpes simpl...
