Antineoplastic interferons 

What are Antineoplastic interferons?

Antineoplastic interferons are interferons (alpha) that are manufactured using recombinant DNA technology and used therapeutically to treat certain types of cancers and viral infections.

Natural interferons enhance the immune system in many ways so can be used to treat different conditions involving the immune system. Interferons are proteins produced by host cells that are infected with viruses, bacteria, other unknown nucleic acids or tumor cells. Interferons also activate other cells that serve as part of the immune system, and destroy invading pathogens. Antineoplastic interferons are used as part of the treatment for cancers like angioblastoma, chronic myelogenous leukemia and hairy cell leukemia, certain types of lymphomas, AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma and malignant melanomas. They are also used in the treatment of viral infections such as hepatitis B and C, and human papillomavirus.

Interferon-Related Signaling Drive Non-Immune-Mediated Resistance to Chemotherapy and Radiation. In addition to effects on the immune system, high levels of ISG expression can also promote cancer cell intrinsic resistance to radiation and chemotherapy.

Interferon alfa-2b injection is used to treat hepatitis B and C, lymphoma (lymph node cancer), malignant melanoma (skin cancer), genital warts, hairy cell leukemia (blood cell cancer), and Kaposi sarcoma (AIDS-related tumor). Interferons are substances produced by cells in the body to help fight infections and tumors.

Interferons (IFNs) are antiviral cytokines that play a key role in the innate immune response to viral infections. In response to viral stimuli, cells produce and release interferons, which then act on neighboring cells to induce the transcription of hundreds of genes.
