This has been associated with several NKT cell-mediated innate immune responses, including the induction of type I (IFN-α, IFN-β) and II (IFN-γ) interferons, recruitment of NK cells to the infection site, and reduction of the suppressive activity of myeloid cells (Ishikawa et al. 2010; Ho et al. 2008; De Santo et al. 2008). Here, IFNB1 is linked to infection.
