Abstract excerpt
The alpha-interferons (IFN-alpha) belong to a family of polypeptides comprising several subtypes. Using recombinant DNA technology, it has been possible to create IFN hybrids that provide novel combinations of the amino acid residues from the parental protein sequences. They have been used to study structure-activity relationships of IFN-alpha and interactions with the IFN-alpha receptor, and to create analogs of...
