Background
Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) is a type I interferon that plays a crucial role in the immune response. It is produced by various cell types in response to viral infections and other stimuli. IFN-α has multiple functions, including the activation of immune cells, enhancement of antigen presentation, and the induction of antiviral states in cells. In mice, the Ifna2 gene encodes a specific isoform of IFN-α, which is involved in the regulation of the immune system and the defense against pathogens. The expression and function of Ifna2 in mice can be studied using various experimental models, including transgenic and knockout mice. These models help researchers understand the role of IFN-α in immune responses and the development of diseases such as viral infections and autoimmune disorders.
