Interferon alpha is one of the cytokines that is produced by our immune system in response to foreign particles entered. Interferon alpha specifically bind to Type-1 interferon alpha receptor (IFNAR1) and down regulating of this receptor plays an important role in determining cytokine signaling magnitude and duration. These are produced by macrophages and have antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes – a protein kinase and oligoadenylate Synthetase. They are widely used as therapeutic agents because of their anti-tumor, anti-viral effects and modulatory effects on the immune system.
