Analysis of IFN-α2a (Human) by MSD Hypersensitive Multi-Factor Electrochemiluminescence Analyzer (CAT#: STEM-MB-0266-LGZ)

Introduction

IFN is divided into three types: α, β, and γ according to its source and structure. IFN-α and IFN-β are secreted by many cell types, including lymphocytes (NK cells, B cells and T cells), macrophages, fibroblasts, bladder cells, osteoblasts, etc. They stimulate macrophages and NK cells to elicit antiviral responses, involve the IRF3/IRF7 antiviral pathway, and also have antitumor activity. IFN-α2a is a subtype of INF-α.
