  • Title: Comparison of an antiviral activity of recombinant consensus interferon with recombinant interferon-alpha-2b.
    Author: Koyama AH, Arakawa T, Adachi A.
    Journal: Microbes Infect; 1999 Nov; 1(13):1073-7. PubMed ID: 10572309.
    Abstract:
    To avoid possible uncertainty in comparing biological activities of interferon samples from different sources where interferon concentrations were determined independently, we prepared chromatographically pure preparations of consensus interferon and interferon-alpha-2b (one of the two commercially available recombinant alpha interferons). We revealed that consensus interferon has a stronger antiviral activity than interferon-alpha-2b, although the effects of these two recombinant interferons on the cellular macromolecule synthesis are at similar levels.
