Age-dependent expression and antiviral activity of interferon epsilon in respiratory epithelium

Mary McCabe, Helen Elizabeth Groves, Erin M P E Getty, Emma Campbell, Connor Bamford, David G. Courtney, Guillermo López–Campos, Michael David Shields, Ultan F. Power

This study shows that IFNE expression decreases in infants, leading to reduced antiviral activity against RSV, suggesting a role in early-life RSV susceptibility.
