Research Article: Antiviral activity of bovine type III interferon against bovine viral diarrhea virus is greatly reduced in bovine turbinate cells due to limited expression of IFN lambda receptor 1 (IL-28R?)
Abstract:
Introduction: The antiviral activity of recombinant bovine interferon lambda 3 (bovIFN-?3) against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) has been demonstrated in vitro in Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells (MDBK) and in vivo in cattle. However, anti-BVDV activity of bovIFN-?3 has not been studied in bovine respiratory tract epithelial cells, supposedly a primary target of BVDV infection when entering the host by the oronasal route.
