Interferon-tau is also known as TP-1 (trophoblast protein-1) is a new class of type I IFN that is secreted by the trophoblast and is the signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy in sheep. Interferon-tau has potent immunosuppressive and antiviral activities similar to other type I IFN but is less cytotoxic than...

One of the type I interferons produced by fibroblasts in response to stimulation by live or inactivated virus or by double-stranded RNA. It is a cytokine with antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulating activity. The synthesis of IFN-beta can be induced by common inducers of interferons, including viruses,...

This glycosylated interferon is constitutively produced by Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. The CHO cells have been transformed by a plasmid containing mouse coding sequences for gamma interferon as well as for dihydrofolate reductase. Biochemical analysis of CHO-derived mouse gamma interferon and gamma interferon...

This glycosylated interferon is constitutively produced by Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells transfected with the chromosomal gamma interferon gene of the rat. Purification is performed from serum-free culture medium by affinity chromatography using monoclonal antibodies to rat gamma interferon. This ultra pure...
