To date, details of the mechanisms by which Chlamydiae induce innate antimicrobial pathways in synovial fibroblasts, are not well characterized; therefore, herein, we investigated the effects of interferon (IFN)α, IFNβ, and IFNγ on the infection, and replication phases of the C. trachomatis developmental cycle, as well as on the induction of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and IFN-related pathways. This evidence concerns the gene IFNA1 and infection.
