Furthermore, beyond the antiviral response, IFNs are regarded as necessary for other immunoregulatory functions, shaping innate and adaptive immunity as well as maintaining tissue homeostasis and integrity [59,60,61,62,63], making it crucial to understand the impact of viral infections on the expression of these molecules since an altered IFN response could have an impact on the overall host immune response. Here, IFNA1 is linked to viral infectious disease.
