In mice, adenovirus (Ad)-elicited IFN-ab mediates the overproduction of LPS stimulated cytokines such as TNFa and IL-6. We found that Ad infection also mediates the overproduction of IFN-ab itself and enables its production in splenic marginal zone macrophages, which don't produce IFN-ab in response to LPS alone. We show the importance of the scavenger receptor MARCO for Ad uptake and cytokine overproduction in vivo, and the differential contribution of infection and rIFN-b to LPS-induced cytokine response in macrophage subsets...
