Abstract
Dysregulation of the type I interferon (IFN) system has emerged as a key pathway involved in the perpetuation of autoimmunity and inflammation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). As our understanding of this pathway and its role in disease continues to grow, clinical application through type I IFN based disease biomarkers and targeted therapeutics are emerging. This is the first of two chapters covering the role of type I interferons in lupus and will focus on the basics of the type I IFN system, in particular the role of IFN alpha produced by plasmacytoid dendritic cells and relevant downstream effects that can contribute to the initiation and propagation of immune pathology in SLE.
