干扰素是由英国人 Isaacs 和瑞士人Lindemana 于1957年发现的。它是机体细胞受病毒和核酸等诱发作用后所形成的一组低分子量糖蛋白,二十多年来的研究表明,干扰素的意义已远远超过它的发现者最初的期望。干扰素除具有抗病毒活性外,还有抗肿瘤生长、抗细胞分裂以及调节机体免疫反应等多种活性。然而,长期来大规模制备和生 Interferons were discovered in 1957 by British Isaacs and Swiss Lindemana. It is a set of low molecular weight glycoproteins formed by the body cells induced by viruses and nucleic acids. Over twenty years of research have shown that the significance of interferon far exceeds the initial expectation of its discoverer. In addition to antiviral activity of interferon, but also anti-tumor growth, anti-cell division and regulate the body’s immune response and other activities. However, large-scale preparation and hygiene have been long-term
