Background: IFN-alpha 6/IFNA6

Interferons (IFN) are a family of cytokines with potent antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory properties, classified based on their binding specificity to cell surface receptors (1). There are more than a dozen closely related IFN alpha subtypes found in both the human and mouse genome, each sharing about 80% amino acid (aa) sequence homology (2, 3). Mature mouse IFNA6 consists of 166 aa and shares 60% aa identity with human IFNA6. The type I IFNs binds to the interferon alpha receptor (IFNAR) which consists of two subunits: IFNAR1 (alpha -subunit) and IFNAR2 (beta -subunit) (4, 5). Individual IFN alpha subtypes are known to display unique efficacies to viral protection, with IFNA6 displaying the superior efficacy controlling influenza virus infection and disease (6). Treatment with IFNA6 DNA 2 weeks post-MCMV infection proved effective at inhibiting the development of chronic autoimmune myocarditis. IFNA6 is also able to reduce chronic cardiac inflammation. These findings suggest that immunomodulation of both antiviral and autoimmune responses by IFN DNA immunization may be an avenue for improved viral immunotherapy (7, 8).
