IFN-γ treatment led to a significant reduction in viral dsRNA levels in treated WTM and OM compared to untreated counterpart Macs (Fig. 5a and Extended Data Fig. 5a,b), indicating effective inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication in BALF Mac by rIFN-γ over this short period. Here, IFNG is linked to ocular melanoma.
