Although the role of type I interferon (IFN) in the protection against viral infections has been known and studied for decades, its role in other immunologically relevant scenarios, including bacterial infections, shock, autoimmunity, and cancer, is less well defined and potentially much more complicated.
尽管人们已经了解并研究了 I 型干扰素(IFN)在抗病毒感染中的作用已有数十年,但它在其他免疫相关情况下(包括细菌感染、休克、自身免疫和癌症)的作用尚未得到明确界定,而且可能更加复杂。
