      Background InformationInterferon alpha-2 (UniProt: P01563; also known as IFN-alpha-2, Interferon alpha-A, LeIF A) is encoded by the IFNA2 (also known as IFNA2A, IFNA2B, IFNA2C) gene (Gene ID: 3440) in human. Interferons are divided into three families (type I, II, and III) based on their sequence homology. Type I is the largest group that includes Interferons a and b are the primary defensive cytokines against pathogens and display strong antiviral activities. They also display anti-bacterial and anti-cancer properties. IFN-a is rapidly induced and secreted by cells to limit virus replication through numerous and varied mechanisms, including the induction of intrinsic restriction factors. IFN-a2 is produced by macrophages with a signal peptide (aa 1-23), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature active form. It is produced in response to viral infection and triggers the induction of protective genes that inhibit viral replication and impede viral dissemination. IFN-a2 is shown to be an effective agent against hepatitis viruses. Chronic administration of IFN-a is shown to cause the regression of vascular neoplasms, including hemangiomas, Kaposi's sarcoma, and pulmonary hemangiomatosis. (Ref.: Lavender, KJ., et al. (2016). J, Virol. 90(13); 6001-6013).
