自1935年 Hoskins 报道动物病毒的干扰现象,直到1957年英国学者 Isaacs 和 Lin-denmann才发现,正常细胞受到病毒刺激后能产生一种干扰其他病毒感染细胞的一种可溶性蛋白质,特将其称为干扰素。由于干扰素的抗病毒作用,很快就引起了世界医学界的重视。近年来的研究还发现,干扰素除具有抗病毒作用外,还具有抑制细胞增殖及免疫调节作用,特别是它在抗肿瘤作用上显示出良好效果,受到广泛注意。许多国家组织大规模协作研究,取得了较大进展。 Since 1935 Hoskins reported the interference of animal viruses until British scholars Isaacs and Lin-denmann discovered in 1957 that normal cells were stimulated by viruses to produce a soluble protein that interfered with other virus-infected cells, Interferon. Due to the antiviral effect of interferon, it quickly attracted the attention of the world medical community. In recent years, the study also found that, in addition to interferon has antiviral effects, but also has the effect of inhibiting cell proliferation and immune regulation, especially its antitumor effect has shown good results, has received widespread attention. In many countries, large-scale collaborative research has been conducted and great progress has been made.
