What does IFN-A stand for?

Previous studies have shown that pDCs recognize HIV-1 with the help of a receptor called Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) that triggers the production of interferon-alpha and other important immune system molecules.

Until recently NHS treatment options for spreading, or metastatic, kidney cancer were mostly confined to injections of interferon-alpha.

Recombinant interferon alpha-2b and coenzyme Q10 as a postsurgical adjuvant therapy for melanoma: a 3-year trial with recombinant interferon-alpha and 5-year follow-up.

On April 20, Maxim announced promising data of a completed Phase II study using Ceplene with standard interferon-alpha therapy during the European Association for the Study of Liver conference in Prague, Czech Republic.

The Company currently has three products in development based on this technology and addressing the indications of: - Anemia - using EPODURE, a Biopump producing erythropoietin (EPO) - Hepatitis-C - using INFRADURE - a Biopump producing interferon-alpha (IFN-a) - Hemophilia - using a Biopump to produce clotting Factor VIII The Company's Phase I/II clinical trial using EPODURE to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease, has demonstrated proof of concept of the Biopump.

Now, a new study in mice implicates the immune signal interferon-alpha as an early culprit in a chain of events that upend sugar metabolism and make patients dependent on lifelong insulin injections.

Current treatment regimens require frequent administration of Interferon-alpha for periods of up to a year or longer.

and Canada: erythropoetin, pegylated G-CSF (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor), Interferon-Alpha, recombinant Factor VIII, and etanercept.
