The Biologic Activity and Molecular Characterization of a Novel Synthetic Interferon-Alpha Species, Consensus Interferon

1 Jul 1996

Abstract excerpt

Consensus interferon (Infergen) is a wholly synthetic type I interferon (IFN), developed by scanning several interferon-alpha nonallelic subtypes and assigning the most frequently observed amino acid in each position, resulting in a consensus sequence. The antiviral, antiproliferative, NK cell activation activity, cytokine induction, and interferon-stimulated gene-induction activity of consensus interferon has...
