Background

IFNA1 is a member of the Type I IFN (1) family best known for their antiviral activity. It is a key cytokine regulating the activity of B cells, T-helper cells (Th cells), cDCs and natural killer cells (NK cells). Interferon-alpha induces B cell maturation into plasma cells and immunoglobulin production. Interferon-alpha plays an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Interferon-alpha was the first cytokine to show clinical benefit in the treatment of certain types of cancer, including melanoma, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and renal cancer.
