Abstract excerpt
Pegylated Interferon-α2b (pIFN-α) is an integral part of the drug regimen currently employed against melanoma. Interferon Regulatory Factor-1 (IRF-1) plays an important role in the transcriptional regulation of the IFN response, cell cycle and apoptosis. We have studied pIFN-α induced responses when combined with the chemotherapy agent, vinblastine in tumor and endothelial cell lines and the connection to IRF-1...
