Associations of IFNA2 with chemical compounds

  • Focusing on the molecular mechanism underlying the dominant negative effect of IRF-7 DN, we found that virus-activated transcription of endogenous IFNA genes requires full-length IRF-7 and that Serine 483 and 484 play an essential role [22].
  • The anti-Friend leukemia virus (FLV) effects of interferon-alpha-A/D (IFN-alpha) and 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (stavudine) used alone and in combination were examined in Mus dunni cells using a checkerboard-type experiment design [23].
  • The effect of IFNA on C4 was inconclusive but indicates an effect during the initial phase of the treatment [21].
  • Localization of 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase and the enhancement of its activity with recombinant interferon-alpha A/D in the mouse brain [24].
  • IFNA induced a significant increase in the concentration of C1 inhibitor (INH) [21].
 

Physical interactions of IFNA2

  • Iodinated human interferon alpha A (HuIFN-alpha A) was found to bind specifically to IFN-sensitive RSa cells: the dissociation constant was 8.7 X 10(-10)M and the estimated number of receptor sites per cell was 1110 [25].
