Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Interferon IFN-beta is indicated for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. A significant proportion of patients show a poor clinical response to therapy. Type I interferon exerts its effect at least partially through interaction of specific transcription factors with interferon-stimulated response elements (ISREs), mostly located in promoter regions of its target genes. We hypothesized that...
