Preferred Name | recombinant interferon gamma | |
Synonyms |
gamma-interferon gamma interferon IFN-G |
|
Definitions |
A recombinant therapeutic agent which is chemically identical to or similar to the endogenous lymphokine interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) with antineoplastic, immunoregulatory, and antiviral activities. Therapeutic IFN-gamma binds to and activates the cell-surface IFN-gamma receptor, stimulating antibody-dependent cytotoxicity and enhances natural killer cell attachment to tumor cells. This agent also activates caspases, thereby inducing apoptosis in malignant cells. Check for "https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C583" active clinical trials using this agent.
