In addition, cellular interferon responses including interferon (IFN) γ, IFN αA2 (P < 0.0001), and IL29 (P <0.0068) were also weak after NC8 infection compared with NC2 and NC11; however, in the case of IFN- γ, significant difference was observed only in 24 h (P < 0.05). Here, IFNL1 is linked to infection.
