IFNs are natural regulatory proteins with a variety of activities. The presence of IFN in the sera and the ability of lymphoid cells to produce IFN in vitro can be useful in the analysis of certain immunologically-mediated disorders. Moreover, analysis of the IFN system may be a very sensitive way to monitor chemically induced changes in immunity.
干扰素是具有多种活性的天然调节蛋白。血清中干扰素的存在以及淋巴细胞在体外产生干扰素的能力,在某些免疫介导疾病的分析中可能是有用的。此外,对干扰素系统的分析可能是监测化学诱导的免疫变化的一种非常灵敏的方法。
