IFNA4 and infection: We therefore examined gene expression for several important interferon-related genes (IFNα2, IFNα4, IFNβ, IFNαβR, IFNγ, IFNγR, Irf3, Irf7, Mx1, Oas1, IFITM1, IFITM2), along with inflammasome-related genes IL-1β and NLRP3, and chemokines CCL5, CCL7, and CCL12 at d1 post-infection.
