Examples of Interferons in the following topics:
-
- Interferons (IFNs) are proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens.
- The type I interferons present in humans are IFN-α, IFN-β and IFN-ω.
- Interferon type II: These bind to IFNGR that consist of IFNGR1 and IFNGR2 chains.
- In addition, interferons induce production of hundreds of other proteins—known collectively as interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs)—that have roles in combating viruses.
- Interferons, such as interferon gamma, directly activate other immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer cells.
-
- A second class of cytokines is interferons , which are released by infected cells as a warning to nearby uninfected cells.
- A function an interferons is to inhibit viral replication, making them particularly effective against viruses.
- Interferons are cytokines that are released by a cell infected with a virus.
- The response of neighboring cells to interferons helps stem the infection.
- Describe the role of PAMPs and PRRs, interferons, and other cytokines in innate immunity
-
- Interferons play pivotal roles in shaping the immune responses in mammals.
- One of the best-known of this class of drugs are interferons, which inhibit viral synthesis in infected cells.
- Interferons (IFNs) play pivotal roles in shaping the immune responses in mammals and are particularly important for the control of viral infections, cell growth, and immune regulation.
- Elucidating the molecular and cellular biology of the virus-interferon interaction is key to understanding issues such as viral pathogenesis, latency, and the development of novel antivirals.
-
- Interferons are protein cytokines that have anti-viral functions.
- IFN-gamma is a common example of an interferon in the immune system.
-
- Compunds and drugs that are administered via IM injection include: Codeine, Morphine, Methotrexate, Metoclopramide, Olanzapine, Streptomycin, Diazepam, Prednisone, Penicillin, Interferon beta-1a, Sex hormones, such as Testosterone, Estradiol Valerate, and Depo Provera Dimercaprol, Ketamine, Lupron, Naloxone, and Quinine, in its gluconate form Vitamin B12, also known as cyanocobalamin.
-
- Most macrophages express high levels of interferon-gamma, a mechanism through which antigen presentation and T cell activation is enhanced.
-
- The humoral component includes complement, lyzozyme, interferon, antibodies, and cytokines.
-
- More importantly, the large number of activated T-cells secretes large amounts of cytokines, the most important of which is Interferon gamma.
-
- In addition to the IgA and IgG, human milk also contains: oligosaccharides and mucins that adhere to bacteria and viruses to interfere with their attachment to host cells; lactoferrin to bind iron and make it unavailable to most bacteria; B12 binding protein to deprive bacteria of needed vitamin B12; bifidus factor that promotes the growth of Lactobacillus bifidus, normal flora in the gastrointestinal tract of infants that crowds out harmful bacteria; fibronectin that increases the antimicrobial activity of macrophages and helps repair tissue damage from infection in the gastrointestinal tract; gamma-interferon, a cytokine that enhances the activity of certain immune cells; hormones and growth factors that stimulate the baby's gastrointestinal tract to mature faster and be less susceptible to infection; and lysozyme to break down peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls.

- Different interferons (IgA, IgG, IgM, etc. ) play roles in defeating viruses located in our membranes.
