Application
Interferon-αA human has been used to:
- study the effect of Chikungunya virus on interferon-mediated JAK (Janus kinase)-STAT (signal transducers and activators of transcription) signaling
- study the effect of interferon-α and PRK2 (protein kinase C-related kinase 2) inhibitors on hepatitis C virus replication
- compare the effect of Monascus pigment derivatives on hepatitis C virus replication
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cytokine with anti-viral, anti-proliferative, immunoregulatory, and proinflammatory activities.
Cytokine with anti-viral, anti-proliferative, immunoregulatory, and proinflammatory activities. Type I Interferons are a closely related family of 165-172 amino acid proteins that are produced by leukocytes (α subtypes), fibroblasts (β subtypes), lymphocytes (ω subtypes) and ruminant embryos (τ subtypes). Interferon induces a variety of effects on target cells including antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities.
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in 5 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.0.
Analysis Note
The biological activity is determined in the cytopathic effect inhibition assay using MDBK cells with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). A cytopathic effect of 50% is produced with 1 unit/ml interferon. The units are determined with respect to WHO International standard reference for human interferonαA.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging human pathogen transmitted by mosquitoes. Like that of other alphaviruses, CHIKV replication causes general host shutoff, leading to severe cytopathicity in mammalian cells, and inhibits the ability of infected cells to respond to interferon
