    Glossary Interferon-alpha

    protein that boosts immune response against viruses and cancer

    Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) is a type of protein produced by the body's immune system in response to viral infections. It helps to inhibit viral replication and modulate the immune response, making it a crucial component in the body's defense against pathogens. Clinically, IFN-α is used in the treatment of various conditions, including certain types of cancer and viral infections like hepatitis C.
