At 16 h of infection, the IFN repertoire in adult DCs increased both in numbers of genes and in expression strength (IFNA1, IFNA2, IFNA4, IFNA5, IFNA7, IFNA8, IFNA10, IFNA13, IFNA14, IFNA16, IFNA21, IFNB1, IFNG, and IFNW1), consistent with the observations in cord DCs. The gene discussed is IFNA4; the disease is infection.
