IFN-alpha 4 (IFNA4; IFN-α4), belongs to the alpha/beta interferon (IFN) family, is produced by the macrophages with antiviral activities. Interferon (IFN) is originally identified as a substance ‘interfering’ with viral replication in vitro. IFN-α/β and related molecules are classified as type I IFNs, as for the other two types of type II IFN (IFN-γ) and type III IFNs (IFN-λ), respectively[1].
Interferon alpha (IFNa) shows significant biological activity in various cancers, paticularly haematological malignancies such as hairy cell leukaemia and chronic myelogenous leukaemia[2].
IFN-alpha 4 is the subtypes dominates in IFN-alpha, whose the response with IFNA5, IFNA7, and IFNA14 accounting for up to 85% of the subtypes expressed by Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)[3].
IFN-alpha 4 is promoted by interferon (IFN) regulatory factors (IRFs), especially IRF-1 and IRF-7[5][6]. And it exhibits function by inhibiting virus RNA replication and enhances human natural killer cytotoxicity against virus[4][7].
