There was minimal induction of IFN mRNA or protein with UV‐HRV MOI 7.5 [median fold change, IFNB1, 1.3 (IQR 0.6–1.4), IFNL1, 1.1 (IQR 1.0–1.2)] or mock infection (median fold change, IFNB1, 1.2 (IQR 0.9–1.8), IFNL1, 2.3 (IQR 0.6–11), data not shown), indicating that virus replication was required to induce the observed responses. Here, IFNL1 is linked to infection.
