Type I interferons are cytokines that have the ability to induce antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities in cells. Recently, we found that treatment with IFN-alpha2c and IFN-beta induces autophagy in Daudi B cells, starting at 24 h as indicated by an increase of autophagy markers LC3-II, Atg5-Atg12 complexes, and...
