IFN-α and IFN-β are antiviral cytokines produced by a wide variety of cells in response to infection by a virus, and which also help healthy cells resist viral infection. They act through the same receptor, which signals through a Janus-family tyrosine kinase. They are also known as type I interferons.
IFN-α e IFN-β son citoquinas antivirales producidas por una amplia variedad de células en respuesta a la infección por un virus, y que también ayudan a las células sanas a resistir la infección viral. Actúan a través del mismo receptor, que señala a través de una cinasa de tirosina de la familia Janus. También se conocen como interferones de tipo I.
