摘要
Type III interferons (IFN-lambdas) are important antiviral cytokines that also modulate immune responses acting through a unique IFN-λR1/IL-10R2 heterodimeric receptor. Conflicting data has been reported for which cells express the IFN-λR1 subunit and directly respond to IFN-λs. In this study we developed a novel method to measure IFN-λ3 binding to IFN-λR1/IL-10R2 on the surface of cells and relate this to a functional readout of interferon stimulated gene (ISG) activity in various cell lines. We show that Huh7.5 hepatoma cells bind IFN-λ3 at the highest levels with the lowest K
