Also known as IFN, interferons

Interferons (IFNs, ) are a group of signaling proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several viruses. In a typical scenario, a virus-infected cell will release interferons causing nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses.

AI overview

Interferons are proteins that your body's cells produce and release when they detect a virus, acting as a chemical alarm system. Once released, these proteins warn nearby cells to boost their defenses against the virus, helping your body fight off the infection.

インターフェロン(英: Interferon、略号:IFN)とは、動物体内で病原体(特にウイルス)や腫瘍細胞などの異物の侵入に反応して細胞が分泌する蛋白質のこと。ウイルス増殖の阻止や細胞増殖の抑制、免疫系および炎症の調節などの働きをするサイトカインの一種である。 医薬品としては、ウイルス性肝炎等の抗ウイルス薬として、多発性骨髄腫等の抗がん剤として用いられている。
