Abstract excerpt
In this study, we describe the creation of three interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha)8 mutants with markedly higher antiviral and antiproliferative activities in comparison with those of the wild-type (wt)IFN-alpha8, wtIFN-alpha2, and IFN-con1 using a phage display system. Sequence analysis showed that three out of the six hot-spot amino acid residues of wtIFN-alpha8 known to be important for the interaction with the...
