干扰素原来是指细胞受病毒作用后诱生的一种保护周围细胞抗病毒感染的蛋白质,现认为干扰素是脊椎动物细胞受某些因素作用后合成的一类细胞功能调节蛋白质,是细胞基因自稳的反应产物,三种不同类型的干扰素(α、β、γ)均具有多种生物学活性(如抗病毒、抗肿瘤和免疫调节等方面)。近十年来的临床研究表明,干扰素对某些病毒和恶性肿瘤有一定的治疗效果。 最近我们曾对一例转移性肺癌给予人体白细胞干扰素治疗,现报告如下: Interferon originally refers to a cell that is induced by a virus and is a protein that protects the surrounding cells against viral infection. It is believed that interferon is a type of cell function regulatory protein synthesized by certain factors in vertebrate cells and is a cell gene. The auto-stable reaction products, three different types of interferons (α, β, γ) all have a variety of biological activities (such as anti-virus, anti-tumor and immune regulation). Clinical studies in the past decade have shown that interferons have certain therapeutic effects on certain viruses and malignancies. Recently, we have given human leukocyte interferon therapy to a case of metastatic lung cancer. The report is as follows:
