Difference between Type I and Type II Interferons (INF Alpha/Beta vs INF Gamma)

Difference between INF alpha beta and gamma

Type I vs Type II Interferons Interferons or INFs are glycoproteins with indirect antiviral properties. They are cytokines whose production in the cell is induced by viral infections. Interferons stimulate the synthesis of antiviral proteins in the cells which inhibit the multiplication of viral particles.   Learn more: Interferons: Definition, Properties, Antiviral Properties and Clinical … Read more

Functions Interferon

Interferons are Glycoproteins with Antiviral Properties Interferons or INFs are low molecular weight glyco-proteins produced by certain eukaryotic cells in response to viral infections. They are cytokines with indirect or non-specific antiviral activities. Interferons stimulate the production of antiviral proteins in the cells which inhibit the synthesis of viral RNA and proteins. Interferons cannot directly … Read more
