Abstract excerpt

Thirteen interferon (IFN)-alpha functional genes have been reported. Among these, a number of genes have allelic members (variants). In the case of IFN-alpha17, five variants, IFN-alpha17a, IFN-alpha17b, IFN-alpha17c, IFN-alpha17d, and IFN-alphaT, are known. The variants differ from each other by...
