Background: IFN-alpha 7/IFNA7

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 IFNA7 consists of 166 aa and shares 59% identity with human IFNA7. The type I IFNs bind 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 IFNA7 showing slightly lower antiviral potency against Mengo virus but maintaining similar anti-proliferative potency in B16 melanoma cells (5, 6).
