Interferon-Gamma at the Crossroads of Tumor Immune Surveillance or Evasion

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is a pleiotropic molecule with associated antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic and antitumor mechanisms. This effector cytokine, often considered as a major effector of immunity, has been used in the treatment of several diseases ...

Expression, purification, and bioactivity of a soluble recombinant ovine interferon-tau in Escherichia coli

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Research, 2021
Ovine interferon-tau (oIFN-τ) is a newly discovered type I interferon. This study used biochemical techniques to transform the oIFN-τ gene into Escherichia coli to obtain the mass and soluble expression of the recombinant protein.

Impaired type I interferon activity and inflammatory responses in severe COVID-19 patients

open access: yesScience, 2020
Interferons interfere with lung repair Interferons (IFNs) are central to antiviral immunity. Viral recognition elicits IFN production, which in turn triggers the transcription of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), which engage in various antiviral functions ...

The pestivirus N terminal protease N(pro) redistributes to mitochondria and peroxisomes suggesting new sites for regulation of IRF3 by N(pro.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The N-terminal protease of pestiviruses, N(pro) is a unique viral protein, both because it is a distinct autoprotease that cleaves itself from the following polyprotein chain, and also because it binds and inactivates IRF3, a central regulator of ...

Evolution of Interferons and Interferon Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
The earliest jawed vertebrates (Gnathostomes) would likely have had interferon (IFN) genes, since they are present in extant cartilaginous fish (sharks and rays) and bony fish (lobe-finned and ray-finned fish, the latter consisting of the chondrostei, holostei, and teleostei), as well as in tetrapods.
