Abstract
Lambda interferons (IFNLs) provide critical host defense against pathogens encountered at mucosal surfaces. In humans, IFNL signaling is regulated in part by low and cell-type restricted expression of the lambda interferon receptor 1 protein with expression restricted primarily to epithelial cells located at mucosal surfaces. This review will examine the evidence suggesting a role for IFNLR1 transcriptional variants in mediating cell responsiveness to IFNL ligand exposure and regulation of pathway activity.
