The following information is about Interferon.
Interferon Defined
A group of immune system proteins, produced and released by cells infected by a virus, which inhibit viral multiplication and modify the body’s immune response. Three interferon beta medications have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating relapsing forms of MS: IFN beta-1b (Betaseron®); IFN beta-1a (Avonex®); and IFN beta-1a (Rebif®).
This definition is in context to Multiple Sclerosis. See more contextual defintions for Interferon.

- Efficacy of local use of recombinant interferon alpha-2 preparations in combined treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: Clinical-immun ological examination of 41 patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) included determination of phenotype. Treatment with IFN-alpha raised the levels of cytokines modulating an immune response by Th1-type (IFN-gamma, IL-12, IL-2) and GM-CSF, and reduced the levels of IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13. Local treatment with recombinant IFN-alpha is effective in aggressive RRP. As prognostic markers of the treatment efficacy may serve baseline high levels of TNF-alpha and IL-4/IFN-gamma index in laryngeal secretion. Treatment efficacy can be assessed by raise of IFN-gamma, IL-2 and IL-12 in combination with reduction of IL-4/IFN-gamma index.

- Genetics and infectious disease | Some people are more prone to infection than others. One answer could be to dose them with the molecules that their immune systems cannot make| Economist.com: Different alleles of certain genes cause some people to succumb to infection whereas others are left relatively unscathed. They thus hope to explain not only why some people can be infested with virulent microbes without contracting a disease (whereas others become ill even though they are less infected) but also why such patterns run in families and in ethnic groups. A single gene out of the 25,000 or so in the human genome can make all the difference to whether or not a person suffers from many common diseases. The lack of a molecule called type 1 interferon plays a role in innate immunity: the defence against infection that babies are born with. Adaptive immunity is thought to be a response to specific bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites (the development of specific antibodies). Innate immunity is the body's general response to all threats of disease; however new research suggests that innate immunity could be specific, too and it is genetic trait.
