Using a specific antibody, we found that expression of the viral restriction factor IFITM3 differs across cell types within the immune compartment with higher expression in myeloid rather than lymphoid cells. IFITM3 expression was increased following IFN stimulation, mostly type I, in immune cells, with the exception of T cells.
Keywords: IFITM3; IFN; innate immunity; myeloid cells; viral restriction.
