Description
About the Book
Interferons are proteins produced by the body's cells in response to viruses, bacteria, cancer, and other pathogens. They play a crucial role in the immune system by inhibiting the replication of viruses, activating immune cells like natural killer cells and macrophages, and enhancing the recognition of infected cells. Interferons are classified into three main types: alpha, beta, and gamma, each with specific functions and sources. Alpha and beta interferons are produced by various cells in response to viral infections, while gamma interferon is primarily released by activated T cells and natural killer cells to stimulate immune responses. Interferon therapy is used in the treatment of certain viral infections, such as hepatitis B and C, and some cancers, although it can cause side effects like flu-like symptoms and fatigue. Overall, interferons play a vital role in defending the body against pathogens and regulating immune responses. This book provides significant information on interferons to help develop a good understanding of immunology and related fields. It explores all the important research on interferons in the present day scenario. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students of this field.Book Synopsis
