Feline interferon beta is a cytokine that belongs to the type I IFN family, with antitumor, antiviral and immunomodulatory functions. In this work, recombinant feline interferon beta (rFeIFNβ) was expressed in insect larvae ...

Progress in comparative oncology promises advances in clinical cancer treatments for both companion animals and humans. In this context, feline mammary carcinoma (FMC) cells have been proposed as a suitable model to study ...

The type I human interferon alpha (hIFN-α) family consists of small proteins that exert a multiplicity of biological actions including antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory effects. However, though administration ...

Interferon lambda (IFN-λ) is an antiviral naturally produced in response to viral infections, with activity on cells of epithelial origin and located in the mucosal surfaces. This localized activity results in reduced ...

Cellular immune responses to recombinant (r) Sm14 were examined in chronic, treated patients and uninfected individuals living in an endemic area for schistosomiasis. The lymphocyte proliferative responses and cytokine ...
