IFN-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 (Ifit2) limits autoimmune inflammation by regulating myeloid cell activation and metabolic activity
Abstract:Besides anti-viral functions, Type I IFN expresses potent anti-inflammatory properties and is being widely used to treat certain autoimmune conditions, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). In murine model of MS, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), administration of IFNb effectively attenuates the disease development. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the treatment remain elusive. In this study, we report that IFN-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 2 (Ifit2), a type I and type III … Show more
