About Interferon beta


Interferon beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IFNB1 gene. It is a recombinant protein with antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer properties.
Interferon beta balances the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory agents in the brain, and reduces the number of inflammatory cells that cross the blood brain barrier.Overall, therapy with interferon beta leads to a reduction of neuron inflammation. Moreover,Interferon beta is also thought to increase the production of nerve growth factor and consequently improve neuronal survival.
