Compared with a recently published microarray analysis of type I and type III IFN responses in PHH, which used similar statistical thresholds but substantially higher IFNλ concentrations than our study (1000 ng ml − 1 ), 11 our RNA-seq data provide a more complete estimate of the IFN response (87 versus 50 genes significantly regulated by IFNλ3). ./cache/cord-353062-c6luoo3m.txt ./txt/cord-353062-c6luoo3m.txt
