Transcriptional responses of tumor cell lines to interferon-alpha [PDF]
Interferon is an antiviral and antiproliferative cytokine therapeutically applied to treat hepatitis infection and cancer expansion. The beneficial effects of interferon-alpha are dependent on efficient signaling by activation of defined JAK-STAT pathway

Retreatment with interferon-alpha and ribavirin in primary interferon-alpha non-responders with chronic hepatitis C [PDF]
Background/Aims: Combination therapy with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) plus ribavirin is more efficacious than IFN-alpha monotherapy in previously untreated patients with chronic hepatitis C and patients with IFN-alpha relapse.

Interferon signalling in the liver : implications for the natural course and therapy of hepatitis C [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus is a global health concern, estimated to infect 2-3% of the world's population. Inter-individual differences in the course of infection and response to therapy, highlighted by recent genomewide association studies, point to the crucial ...

Comparison of the Effects of Early Pregnancy with Human Interferon, Alpha 2 (IFNA2), on Gene Expression in Bovine Endometrium [PDF]
Interferon tau (IFNT), a type I IFN similar to alpha IFNs (IFNA), is the pregnancy recognition signal produced by the ruminant conceptus. To elucidate specific effects of bovine IFNT and of other conceptus-derived factors, endometrial gene expression ...

The regulation of type I interferon production by paramyxoviruses [PDF]
Research supported by The Wellcome Trust (087751/A/08/Z)Experimentally, paramyxoviruses are conventionally considered good inducers of type I interferons (IFN-alpha/beta), and have been used as agents in the commercial production of human IFN-alpha ...
