Abstract

Cytokines such as TNF and IFN-γ are important for immunity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). Here the authors show that interleukin-32 gamma (IL-32γ) acts downstream of TNF and IFN-γ as an intracellular effector, and that IL-32γ negatively regulates host factors contributing to HBV transcription to promote HBV clearance.
