Abstract excerpt
Interferons (IFNs) are a complex group of proteins and glycoproteins able to express antiviral, immunomodulatory, and differentiation activities. In physiological conditions, they are produced upon induction, in basal amounts, and in restricted microenvironments where they act in a paracrine fashion, hardly reaching the circulation and not affecting parenchymal cells. In some acute infections, production of IFN...
