IFNB1 and viral infectious disease: Concomitantly, the SARS-CoV-2-mediated interferon-gamma-induced protein 10 kDa (IP-10), the interferons (IFNs) IFNβ, IFNλ1 and IFNλ2/3, the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and the 2′-5’-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) mRNA synthesis were significantly reduced upon LASAG treatment (Figure 3a) probably due to reduced viral infection.
